[Silly Little Cars] 1977 truckster, tons of questions

[Maxime Philippe]

Don not sure where you're located but I got a new windshield cut and installed on my 99 interceptor at TLC glass in San Francisco for $217, tax included. Dunno about back window but prob similar price, maybe you can get a deal for both.  The espresso cart sounds awesome! Good luck with the repair.

Mine has tons of rust, so I was thinking of hitting it all over with a rust neutralizing coating, bondoing a few rust holes and then getting a cheap coat of paint.

It will just be driven to a fixed area for the day/morning for vending then back home.  It doesn't have to be perfect,  just get me back and forth and not look like sh*t, which it definitely does now.  If you guys can help me out, I'm happy to post pictures of the process.
