[QUOTE="putback, post: 397036, member: 15012"] I'd bet the windshield is 1961. The hand & power tools I have but I've never worked with this material. I'll go with the belt sander. It did spread out to 59"s without any problem. Locked it in place at 59 stood back & looked, not so sure now that it can be done. Once the bow and stern bonnet are painted inside the polished alum gunnels I think the windshield / brackets will look better at 55"s, with everything inside the paint perimeter. Couldn't visualize the end result 'till it was in place at 59". Good advice, thanks. Ordered the windshield rubber from your link. Another question. Rivet and screw holes from two previous windshield mountings, none line up with this one. I can plug them with buck rivets but it would look better without. Only way I know is patch the under side with alum and body panel adhesive then fill / feather with JB, smooth, prime & paint. Any other methods? [/QUOTE]
