I pulled the front and rear glass on the 52' this afternoon. I was expecting to find the same amount of rust that I have found everywhere else. What I found was the original Mariner's Blue and very little rust. I guess the seal was good enough to keep the water out. I am a happy guy. I needed one less thing to have to weld.

I wasn't so lucky. I pulled the windshield of my '54 GMC to find the tin worms had gotten fat in there.

That's good! These are prone to rust at the lower front corners.
Less so in the rear windows.
Mine weren't too bad either! thumbs_up

Mine had only a little surface rust. A pleasant surprise is always good in what we do.
