Ford had what they thought was a better idea in '33; six firewall-dash slot-head screws that are not to be unscrewed. Tool(s) necessary? Vice-Grip. How so? grip clamp the head on two or three of the six because you have to; i.e., twisting the head(s) off trying to 'unscrew'. Now, the heads being twisted off, do the other three which are . . . a little more compliant . . .

but, then, don't say, 'Hey! we're gittin' there; we're almost done!" until you are on the last screw on the last thread, . . . then you are almost done.

And if you find yourself saying, "Oh, this one's comin' easier now . . ."

beware, lest you get fooled agin, looking at the Vice-Grip with screwhead!
