I used Sanders Reproduction Glass... https://www.sandersreproglass.com
Thickness matched original glass. When I got the windshield & rear window several years ago, they even offered the OEM markings.
My Gabriel Highjackers paperwork states 'not' to run them without at least 'some' air in them. I keep them around 40 psi. Rides well and provides a nice stance (up about 1.5"). Not driving it daily (like it was in 60s & 70s), it will be fine.
I lost count of the number of times I have overheard a car show passerby point out to another that I have '318' decals on a 'big' block'...like I was trying to hide something. It's good for a smile to both parties.
Tonight the Polys take over!
'66, bored .040 over, ported heads with 2.02/ 1.60 valves, '62 cast iron 4bbl intake, Edelbrock 650 avs and 1" phenolic spacer, original cam ground by Schneider to .462 lift 262 duration, TTI ceramic headers and complete 2 1/2 dual exhaust.

My `66 ...'seating for six', but came with seatbelts for four. I would add center belts, but have not come across any hardware for sale that matches (the male ends have two holes vice one).
I used GCAR also...several years ago. Quality work. Took several weeks longer than quoted, and I had to bug him a bit. But I was happy with the end product.
It was an excellent day! There were some really fast cars on the track...yours included. I had The Kansas Belle in the car show. Will look for you next year. I did run into 68 Chicken (Mitch). Bill

Sounds like you got one like I did...single reservoir with an outlet out the front and an outlet out the bottom. Mine came with a brass plug to close off the one I didn't use. Yours should have come with a brass plug as well.
