Default 1st gen Camaro Windshield Trim - easy to install? Sponsors?

Hi there-

Brand new to old school cars, but not new to fast cars (tracked my Ariel Atom at Laguna Seca yesterday).

I have a 1969 camaro on the way that needs windshield trim. Is that easy for me to install without specialty tools, or does it take an experienced installer?

I'm wondering if I want to delay delivery of the car in order to get trim installed.

Also, are there any sponsors here I can support? I need a few small things like rear marker light lenses as well.

Thanks,
Jason

Better to use restored original trim than new reproduction. You can usually find some on eBay. I am guessing you can find an installation video on YouTube. I have found the clips sold by Steve's Camaros to be the best.

Don't be afraid to install it yourself.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

you will need a tool to remove the old trim. I have heard the CHQ brand fits ok, but I have always tried to find and use original trim.
