4310316 begins

Alan
did you ever figure it why the engine wouldn’t turn over? is that why it’s out of the car. sorty I haven’t been following clearl closely lately but on a cursory look I don’t see a definitive answer yet?
peace
 
I think it was bumper height. Amazing the NHSTA could get involved in that over 50 years ago, but the current crop of bureaucracy can not figure out that the height of headlights in large SUV's and pickups results in these cars nearly blinding oncoming car drivers who have 'normal' passenger cars or our 'classic' models.

according to the Hoffman memo, it was to "correct the headlamp height to federal standards."

Might as well use a sledge hammer! You need to work the gasket off the top edge from the inside.
 
Pushed the one in my 6 out using the foot method. It didn't crack and the still good seal was saved. The front windshield was already cracked, so we just pushed it out and cracked it a bunch more.

Good plan, do not beat yourself up for swinging for the fences. Valiant try.
 
Yesterday was the 8th anniversary of the start of 4310316 begins. Now I don't want it to end, hope it goes to 10 years. Somehow, it makes me feel younger every time there's a new post.
