It's Unboxing Time!

I couldn't wait to get home today so I could get this bad boy open!

Wait a minute, this isn't a TV!

It's my new, non-defrost, screen-accurate back glass for KITT!

You can see in this picture just how massive this back glass is!  It's one of the largest pieces of glass ever used on an automobile.  It provides a large amount of structural support for the rear of the car .

Here's where the back glass I bought a few years ago has been sitting.  This is the one that was supposed to be scratch-free but came with a large scratch.  It also has the rear defrost because I had given up on ever finding a new piece of back glass.

Side by side comparison of the non-defrost glass and the defrost glass.

Defrost glass.

I found one blemish on the new glass, but it turned out to be just some sticky gunk from shipping.

Thanks to my friend Kevin Knight, I was able to find new old stock non-defrost, screen-accurate back glass from Ira Turner with Glass Seekers. He actually had a few available! This is 30+ year old back glass!

New back glass safely stored.
