Re: George...

In order to combat that problem I went about it a little different. We kept the windshield in place because we did not want to brace the frame or take it out. It also needs a new wind shield any way and good heavy cardboard paper taped to the windshield would protect just fine. After that we cut the entire front drip rail off in one section and left it open. We then slightly lifted the roof and cut the lip that comes forward from windshield frame under the roof. This left an over hang of about 3/8” for the roof to be trimmed back to sit flush with the windshield frame minus the lip we cut off. We then began tack welding from the center out to keep any excess metal or warping to the corners where we can take it out with a pie cut.
