    Im getting a fiberglass tub for my 59
    almost all parts that the tub will replace are rusted
    all from the fire wall forward are almost perfect except for the windshield
    Will the tub line up with the metal front section?
    the firewall is the same piece of metal that is the inside on the engine compartment?
    I thinking alot has to be disconnected
    I also need a windshield frame, do they come in fiberglass too?
    Where can I get a new set of body mounts?
    Thanks!!

    I would pass on a fiberglass windshield frame. They aren't strong enough to hold a bikini top or soft top tight in the wind. It will flex them back. I haven't seen the glass pop out or anything like that but it flexes a lot. Of course my experience is limited. There may be some good ones out there?

    My experience with a 4wd hardware tub is everything lines up well. But my front fenders are also fiberglass. Hood, grill and windshield frame are metal.

    To put the tub on you will have to remove everything from the firewall and make templates to transfer the holes to the fiberglass tub.

    Not sure what body mounts your asking for. If you mean the rubber bushing they sell a kit to go with the tubs. If your talking about the frame mounts they are also available from many sources. I think the last ones I saw were at quadratec.
