Thank you 70 Cougar. I also want to thank Robert for all his kind assistance.

Less than a week before the show. The driver's side window was loose, so I glued it back into place. It was a tremendous help watching the Youtube video WCCC/Don did showing how to do the job. The only extra issue I had was that the glass was very loose in the brackets. The PO had put some kind of welting against the glass and then used some sort of glue to try to hold it in place. When the welting was removed the gap to the glass made it move back and forth quite a bit. When I glued it in place I did my best to find the middle ground in the play.

I ordered headlight buckets and trim rings from WCCC as there were no headlights in the car. As luck would have it I did find four headlight buckets in the pile of parts I have. Oh well, the ones from WCCC were in better shape. I cleaned and stripped them, then powdercoated them gloss black. The trim rings were polished to bring out their original shine. I ordered halogen headlights off Ebay and the wiring harness from Rocketman.
