Default windshield frame on 69 convertible
i just started a new restoration on a 69 C3 convertible corvette and after removing the old windshield, i noticed the existing frame is rotted away and doesn't look repairable, how big is the task to replace the frame and where would you get an original replacement? can you recommend a good restoration book that would details the repairs?

If you can find a coupe that has a nice ws frame, you can use that in a 'vert. Just cut off the T bar.
