Hey all.... does anyone have any pics showing how the back glass of a 500 or Daytona is fitted (under the alluminium trim)... eg clips, spacers etc?
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."  

"........the four speed box changes cogs with the precision of a sharp axe striking soft pine."

There are at least some details spelled out in the "hemigeno's Daytona restoration" thread:

There are also some pics showing remnants of the original R/T glass installation, and the C500/Daytona glass installation mimicked that process (more or less).

I think the bigger clips are used to set the height of the glass in the aperture.
We usually use rubber blocks these days
Gotta love a '69
