but with the tops that bad you need to take a close look at the lower corners. unfortunatley the fenders have to come off to repair it correctly if they are bad. but I would still fix it anyway. parts car?

On ebay there was a c-3 windshield fram for sale. It would require some fab, but may be what you are looking for?
Or some cutting and patching, either way it will take some time. Glad to see you keeping the car together.

Sounds like what I did on my '69. I found a good clean donor windshield here in AZ and welded it in. Big job, lot's of measuring and checking, but I'm glad I did it. Good choice to find a donor - nothing like original parts for a good fit.

Good luck the rest of the way
