    Installing windshield in a Squarebody

    Do you have the correct gasket? Trust me they all look alike. I supplied the glass guy with the new gasket I bought from LMC. Vracked the windshield. Glass guy came back with new glass and his gasket and it went right in. The two gaskets were close, but you could see differences. Eric

    Weld or Panel Adhesive?

    Have not used sikaflex, but have used the west system 610 I think is the number for pre thickened adhesive in a tube. I used it to fill the holes on a tractor bucket that we took the hard edge off of. Still has not leaked or broken out, 5 years later. Eric

    Trailer Hitch - Factory Step Bumper

    I had and used one for years on my v10. The mason who was the previous owner had welded 1" round bar from the back of the hitch to the frame on both sides, forming a triangle. Never had an issue till it was time to replace the bumper. Smoke wrench made short work of the round bar. lol Eric

    Folding outer door skin lip

    The biggest duck bill vise grips you can find to start, then continue to roll it over with body hammer and dolly. Could also cut a piece of wood to help keep rolling it over if not handy with hammer and dolly. I would practice on a scrap before you get onto your skin. Eric
