Nice work-interesting to say the least! Have a couple ??'s. Remember well, fitting the w/s in a 66 cvt after changing both hinge pillars, along with MAJOR cowl rebuilding. Fitting the w/s was a major deal. Had an old w/shield to use for fit. Had made templates  to  use prior to welding but still wanted to see it resting in place without rocking or whatever. Did you check the rear window area for fit prior to welding in roof skin? Did it need tweaking for rear window not to rock or chafe, fitting like an original?
When replacing those hinge pillars, my replacements were good used pieces, but had bare metal inside though not rusted through. Did you rustproof those pillars and  boxed sections over the doors on the inside?
Again, very nice, looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I looked for about a year for a good shell and never saw an "original rust free shell", mostly saw shells that had significant rust repair already done, which I was leary about not having done the repair personally...

Plus it was really fun to build...

I think "some" is the key word. I haven't found any I could afford.

Married to Tara, that makes me the TARA-fied one!
