Wow! That sure is looking nice! At first the color wasn’t catching my eye, but now, putting it back together I’m liking it more and more!

Nice work!!

Greg, I took the wheel and used a pointed carbide bit and opened the cracks, Then used Epoxy to fill those.
Then you can spray primer and finish like you would on any other part.

Greg, A 5 min. JB Weld (JB Quick) is what I used
Dries fairly quick (let it sit for a few hrs before sanding) then you can prep it as a normal part for prime and paint

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40
pic 1. After fighting the glass I was able to get the roof side panels set in place.

Pic 2. The windshield and the curved glass were the hardest to get installed.

Pic 3. And finally the rear doors.
