Good luck getting the screws out...Let them soak in penetrating oil for a few days. Then, stick the screwdriver in the slot and beat it with a hammer a few times to loosen the cosmic bond between old Ford parts, then cross your fingers.

Also, when you take the old glass to the glass guy, have them make the new glass EXACTLY like the old patterns. Lots of times, the glass guy goes around your old glass with a Sharpie, then trims to the Sharpie line. Guess what?? Your new glass is now too big by an 1/8 all the way around and will not fit in the hole. Ask me how I learned that one...

Good luck and see you in August. -Abone.

P.S. My first post on the new Fordbarn. Love it.
