    Tinted Black windows??

    I'd say get some 5% from Pepboys or Autozone, or a car parts store where your from. Just make sure it's the UV resistant kind, otherwise it'll turn purple and peel and bubble. Your windows are pretty flat, and maybe only one curve, and dont look complex at all. Just cut them to fit perfect...

    Diplomat overhaul!!! almost done! pics!

    i think it's an 86'. I'm not sure though, i dont have a title, only a bill of sale from a guy from Massachusets. I thought i remembered 86 on the coastguard plate, which was not legible at all. i made out max 150hp and 7 persons, and what i thought was 1986. It was weather faded horribly.
