'31 Budd cab AA. Well I worked on the windshield the last couple of days, about the only thing I have never done with an A. First was soaking the screws on the frame with Kroil so they would come loose and then taking the top off of the frame. The glass was really stuck in place and I didn't want to bend the frame removing it. Tom on the board suggested using kroil, an oil I use all the time, I sprayed the junction of the frame and the gasket last night, this morning the glass about fell out. Now to clean it up and prepare for paint and decide where I'll get the glass for the CCPU. Things are moving along nicely. Yesterday the weather was nice without rain so I took my '29 CCPU for a ride, life is good...
