Well, had a relatively productive last few days. Finished changing the fluids and lubricating the suspension. Almost getting there, will have the car ready for the first race, but still have a few days work ahead of me.
Today my new race screen arrived. Thanks Rick and Time Machines!!! I could not wait to get started, so I went about removing the windshield by myself, not something that I would recommend. Luckily I already had the seats and steering wheel removed so that saved a lot of time and frustration. Even with those items out of the way, it still took me about 3 hours to remove the windshield. All of the retaining bolts are hidden underneath the dash or tight places. You spend the majority of your time on your back underneath the dash trying to figure out how you are going to access unto that are barely visible at times, one was completely hidden by a relay switch. By the way, again please excuse the orientation of the pictures, it again turned them, so I went back to my photo album and rotated the pictures thinking that it would them turn them the right way, and it did not. I will have to figure this out later.
After you remove all of the bolts the fun begins. I figured that the windshield would just slide out of the slots and I would carry it away with no problem. Wrong! I should have expected it, and quickly realized what the problem was when the windshield did not want to move. Invest in RTV, Superformance uses it wherever they think there might be a potential leak. The bast@@@# was glued in place. Spent about 30 minutes prying and puling before it finally broke free, then it came out pretty easy.
I then did a rough fit of the race screen and that is where it sits for now. Tomorrow morning I am heading to Time Machines to borrow a threaded inset tool and will attach the race screen. Had to tweet the aluminum in spots to conform to the body, but it will work fine. I need to make some posts for the mirrors as well.
