Fixing a windsheild frame for a soft top for my truck.

I was able to score frame is great shape, sanded it down and took it to a local body shop, they went over it again and sealed it.

$110

That one looks terrible.
I hate rust to.

Just me, but if I couldn't find a nice used one, I would gladly buy this.
It's NOS, and has never been near rust.

It's a great deal considering that it's complete with glass already set in rubber.

I spent around $200.00 just to get a new windshield cut, and installed in my good frame.

I know that I have often fallen into the trap of "I am not going to spend that much; That is too expensive, outrageous!"

But after I was done, I often spent more than it would have cost. Let us not forget the time, energy and supplies used to bring something back. A classic example is my entire truck. Lots of stuff still to do (like replace the bed which would serve better as a colander).
