Slow weekend. Got my wife to help lift out the windshield on Saturday. I got tired of picking at the dry rotted weather seal and took a die grinder to it. It was messy and smelled but going slowly I cut out the top-outside lip of the seal and we just lifted it right out of the bottom portion.
Also finished up tearing down the dash. I was hoping that I would not have to deal with those chrome rings around the gauges. Now I am pretty sure I am not going to have a choice if I want to get that gold mesh off the front.
I tried contacting Auto Twirler last week about those body dollies but they never returned my calls or emails. I finally talked to one of their distributors and was told that they were bought out by an outfit in Utah. The facility outside Indianapolis is no longer in business. Was hoping to same on freight charges. I'll keep looking for now.
