I think POR have renamed several of their products recently:
Tie Coat Primer became High Build Primer
Chassis Coat became Top Coat DTM Chassis Black
Prep and Ready became Metal Prep
Maybe more name changes to confuse me....

Often a name change will be a way to raise prices. Old product will remain for a short while at the lower price until exhausted while the new product sits there for a bit more money.

Personally, I have never use the tie primer. I catch the paint when it is slightly tacky, and I get good adhesion as well as a transfer of some of the hardening properties. But it is very dependant on timing...too early and you get cracking/crazing on the new paint.

Finally got the windshields done and installed. The glass was sealed in with black exterior caulking. This should stop any issues with water getting in between the frames and glass. I also put in new rubber seals along the outside edges. Lastly the rebuilt wiper motors were installed with NOS wiper arms and blades.

FYI, the wiper motor lobes face downward and you seem to have the right wiper blade pointing the wrong way. They should both 'rest' inwards.

The later wiper motors were installed this way. Notice the indent on the frame. Photo is from a previous post by Phil Waterman

After looking over some photos I see what you mean about the resting position of the arms. I’ll get that switched.

I finished up getting the hood, grill and nose all painted up in POR today. The new made panel fitted up perfectly into the nose.

Big thanks to a fellow MLU’er for taking the time to draw up the nose shroud for me. I’m now able to make a brand new one. I managed to make up the top and bottom parts today.

I also took advantage of the very nice weather today and got all the nose parts sprayed that lovely light hue colour.
