I am stripping down and repainting my wife's '67 fj40. Everything is going just peachy except for the damned windshield frame. I cannot get the pins out of the hinges. I accidently mushroomed the end of one of the pins by tapping on it too hard... perhaps banging the hell out of it while cussing up a storm is a better description then tapping.
Anyways... I need to get these suckers out or at least be told an effective means of painting the hinges, with the pin in, without having a permanently upright windshield....
I also cannot get the phillips screws that mount the hinge to the frame and body out. . . I have had terrible luck with all the other screws on the body (stripping the X) and I really hate the thought of drilling these out.
Though sitting in the sun, drinking beer, and staring at the cruiser is rather pleasant, I really need to get my ass in gear and finish this.... so my wife will stop driving my 60!
thanks in advance
