Good morning.
What do you think the odds are, if diligence is taken, of success will be removing a windshield for one car and getting it successfully in place on another? Quite likely? Am I fooling myself about the billet he to do this? |

I've only attempted this one time and managed to get one out of a 76 chassis that I was parting out. I still have it in storage waiting to go in my 70.
If I recall it was a warm day, car sitting outside, and I used several narrow, flexible putty knives and very thin flexible strips of 1075 steel to wedge under the windshield as it lifted so it would not sit back in the butyl. It took an hour or so to do it. |
