Lexan Windshield Cut Fit & Install - Chop Top Rat Rod Truck
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2021
- Let's cut to the chase then cut some lexan and make a windshield out of it for the chopped top Rat Rod Truck. Then later we can use that for a pattern for the glass shop to cut laminated glass. It's a split windshield so we make custom center section metal molding pieces to sandwich the center split together. It's a custom built truck so it deserves a custom windshield.
Did you know you can use super glue to put together the rubber windshield seal after it's cut to size for a chopped top?
Also we get a look at the whole truck ... it's awesome!
For those who like to watch the build!

Good afternoon, Professor Bob, Loving the progress! Did I hear you say......Road Trip? She is a pretty little girl! Say hey to Red!
Soapy water in a spray bottle helps with putting the rubber in the frame
Next time you try a window install, lube the rubber with a soapy solution, you'll find that a bit easier.
Seen them use a soapy spray bottle , but every professional have there own way of installation.
Windshield looks like it was made for it. 👍🏼🤣😉
This maybe the only video on youtube showing a windshield being put in on a rat rod great job as always
I do believe you're right.
Any day now she looks like she'll be tearing up the streets. I can't wait!
YES!

Good on you Bob! Looks real good!

Another great job by Bob.
That is something to be proud of! B E A UTIFUL!!!
Hey Bob, the windshield really turned out nice, the flat bar down the middle finished it off good
My favorite truck on TH-cam!
WOW i worked for,,, Standard Auto Glass ,,, in Toronto Ontario Canada for 30 years ,, YOU DID A GOOD JOB Thanks Ed
Hey Bawb Your Gonna Need Some Windshield Wipers Now that Thang is Sharp, That Dirty Rice Car is Intresting, Stay Safe KEEP'EM COMING
Rain X.
If Red's happy, I'm over the moon!!
The Windshield looks fantastic, it does look factory. So would the other windows, if you do them in Lexan Glass it would look amazing with all the windows in it and just make the side windows pull straps. Back window would take about a hour to put in,if you take your time. Next put some black wipers on it with a hand crank "awesome ". Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family RAT ROD BOB, love you man .can't wait until your next video 🤔 🔥💯💪🏼👍👍🙏🙏✌😊✌
McGuire's makes a mirror glaze product that the motorcycle is used on their lexan/Plexiglas. Removes the superficial scratches
Good to know brother!
Similar to the McGuire's, Kit Scratch Out. I use the Scratch Out and now the McGuire's on acrylic (lexan) saxophone mouthpieces that I rework for customers. If you have some scratches, you can lightly sand with silicon carbide wet or dry paper, 800, then 1000, then 1200, finally 2000. Then polish with the plastic polish and voila!
Barb two the bone ,
Keep up the great work
An absolutely beautiful build Bob. Love this truck and you are nearly at 50000 subs.
Looks good Bob....almost time to sell it to me!
Fantastic Bob ... I've got a pair of them mighty fine "Hardy" gloves too. Great planning she's coming together.
You made that look easy Bob. Well done mate.
From an old Ky guy, living in New Zealand.

Yea I can see that ole Rat Rod flying down the road now Bob. Slicker then snot on a doorknob. That window looks Factrey. Nice work being done in Mississippi thats for sure.
Well done Bob on the windscreen in fact the whole car looks fantastic, proud of you mate

That wuz slicker than greased bat sh*#!!!! Nice job Bob, we preciate ya !!!!
I love old school mate, a job well done. you have switched me from hotrods to ratrods, I love the look.
Great job 👏Bob looking dam good
Great work Bob! However I think you will have a problem with the super glue on the rubber. I would use silicone or my favorite stuff Through the Roof, that stuff will stick and dry in the rain and it stays flexible!
As you can see .. no problem with the super glue so far but if that time comes I'll have to stop doing that and do something different. By the way ... that super glue is not to stop leaks but to glue the rubber back together. Super glue is the only thing I could find to do that and still stretch the rubber seal around the glass. 3M weatherstrip glue didn't work ... silicone didn't work ... but super glue works like a champ.
Should've already knew that because that's how you resize rubber orings .... super glue.
As far as stopping leaks .... this ole Rat Rod has so many holes and cracks in it ... it's like a motorcycle ... drive it when the weather is nice or be prepared to get a wet a$$.
Super Glue is used in O-ring kits sold to make custom size O-rings. They sell the round rubber, you cut to size, glue it with the super glue. Look up the Permatex 00112 O-Ring Splicing Kit. If it works for O-rings, it should work fine for the windshield rubber.
Very cool project!!👍😎😎😎
Looks great Bob
It’s always nice watching your work! It’s a rat Rod😊
It looks good both ways with paint or without. The sun visor thingy adds a nice touch. 👍🏻
It turned out good Bob 👍👍🇨🇱
I've made a few windshields in my day. I worked at a place called opg which is Ohio plate glass. There no longer in business which sucks cause I could make anything and temper it as well. Anyway I still make double pane safety glass as long as its flat glass, I just need a pattern. Its really easy to do. I'm in love with this build Bob. My favorite is the falcon. Would really like to see you build the galaxy I think that's what it is. The black one. Looking forward to seeing more builds
66 Fairlane ... good chance to see it in the shop soon.
YOU ALMOST GOT IT!
Sure am loving that rat rod....
RAT ROD BOB
AWESOME JOB
Looking better all the tome.
Better all the time. Dang it.
Good job Bob.
Looks Freaking great.
A little bit of Dish soap on the rubbers helps alot
I've used cut to fit oring kits and you super glue them together. They withstand hydrolic pressure so I would say no reason that gluing those seals wouldn't. Just thought you might want to know
Bob I just gotta tell you that is freakin cool!!
I think you got it Bob!
That looks super!
I enjoy your build
Looks great Bob good thing you put the strip of metal so when you put auto glass you can unscrew the metal strip. Thinking ahead it's a good idea just in case you have to replace or fix anything on the TRUCK. 👍🏽
Love those little truck's like that they look like a plane from WWII bomber plane's or something are military would build when they got home from what they learned while serving.
You make everything look so easy Bob!
koooool , I always knew that stuff was good for sumthin'
Dig the licks, musically and mechanically!
Love these videos!
You Da Man BOB
Thanks for what you do Bob
