Anyone that can help will be very helpful for me. Here is the thing, I want to give this complete car to my grandfather, a Navy veteran for his 73rd birthday. He bought this car and was not able to complete it, as a matter of fact he told me to junk it. It has now a custom, NAVY bomber paint job, I need some parts, please help me. I need the following:
Windshield:
Headlight Covers and Lights:
Some Cool Wheels:
Thank you everyone in advance, and I will post pictures very soon.

The windshield is a 65 corvette cupe no convertable. Any windshield repair place can help you with that. I go threw safelite for mine. The head light covers are just half inch tinted plexyglass cut to fit. Just use a jig saw with a helper with a hose and a steady stream of water. Take your time and they will be great. And creags list for your rims. Good luck and thanks for bringing another bradley to life!

Here is the Car: It is dark gray like the old Navy Bombers, pin up girl on the side, with water splash on the bottom ends. US Navy Seal, with his company logo. Thank you for the reply about the parts for this birthday gift. Attachments:

Hi oscarparra1983,  That's not a GT, it's a GTII.  The vet windshield only fits the GT. The GTII has a custom windshield that is no longer in production and is very hard to find! It had "pop up" headlights mounted in the underside of the covers, and they were opened by a less then reliable modified wiper motor. Best bet is to use a linear actuator if you can find the original type headlights/mounting doors.  You could also make a custom box to mount new fixed headlights in, and then cover them with Plexiglas. Wheels are available from several sources.  And it looks like the doors fit very poorly due to "butt sag" in the body. This is common and requires lifting and reinforcing the rear of the body. Do a search for "butt sag" on this forum ......it has been discussed here several times. This is a noble undertaking for your dad. Best of luck overcoming a few obstacles. Gary Hammond,   |

Location? Sometimes it's cheaper to buy an old junker and strip the parts you need and sale the rest |
