A good glass shop won't use butyl to set a windshield. It's not approved and if the windshield pops out in an accident and someone follows it out of the car you can sue them if they did use butyl. From what I found Chevy did not use butyl on these cars although many people think they did. They used some type of adhesive and a cloth covered damn, maybe even butyl inside, to keep the adhesive from squeezing out where it's visible. Don't recall the name of products they used, that was over a year ago. A lot of the info was from guys that worked in the assembly plants back in the day.
A lot of people do use butyl rope and if the window pops out that's probably the least of your problems. Just stating what I found in my research. Last edited by Hank70SS; 07-14-2013 at 05:03 PM.

Got my rear window installed, what do you think? The old one was clear and let in too much sunlight. This one definitely blocks a lot more sunlight.
Started cleaning out the pinch weld today. Cardboard will hopefully keep some of the crap out of car. A brass wire wheel to remove the urethane, butyl, and mystery goop I couldn't scrap and cut out. Spot blaster to remove the rust Not too much, lower corners as expected. Didn't get the rear finished today, close to 90* this afternoon. Once the sun moved past the shed and I was in the sun I quit. Don't really want to blast that crap out inside the garage. I'll have to start early tomorrow to take advantage of the shade. Then on to the front windshield.

A vinyl top can hide a lot of sins. My car was stripped down when I bought it. Along with the bumpers, front clip and engine, all the trim was off. No obvious rust at that time and it's been kept in a garage since then. The only rust was under the window and sealer and isn't that bad for a 43 year old car.

I did a little interior work myself today Eric...
Installed the freshly recovered middle seat back into the wagon...which I picked up yesterday from Keys. But, I have run out of original patterned SMS material now so will have to order a yard or two of each design to replace the 3rd seat cover. Sounds like a project for this winter. Sadly, only the front bench was ripped on the driver side but after it was redone, the other seats vinyl were showing up faded.  Cost to replace all three seats now has become pricey. Oh well, off to the Ohio show in two weeks!!!

Drive shaft will be back today!
I am ready to go bang through some gears!!!!!!!! It has been nearly 2 years since my last manual and I have definitely missed it! I probably should call up Moser and have an M9 9" built because this 12 bolt is not going to be happy once I get a few break-in miles on the transmission
