: Maximum stress here guys. I decided to
: take the plunge and install the
: Franken-6's windshield myself with the
: help of a friend. Both of us had heard
: of the string technique, but neither
: one of us had ever seen it performed.
:
: As usual, I blatantly stole from
: others' experiences and it all actually
: worked well. Three things that I
: believe made a difference:
:
: 1. I used 550 paracord. This was a
: very nice size. Easily slipped into
: the seal, was good to grip and it
: didn't slide from side to side until I
: was almost done.
:
: 2. I Used KY Ultra Gel as a lubricant.
: Lots of it. After sinking the
: paracord, I used lots of the KY. It
: stayed moist long enough to get the job
: done, and then just dry up. I liked
: that it dries versus silicone or other
: lube choices and the paracord absorbed
: it making extracting the cord easier.
:
: 3. I crossed the cords completely
: across the bottom of the windshield
: before starting. This held the seal
: open enough to easily drop it onto the
: frames knife-edge and get the whole
: thing started.
:
: Lesson Learned: If after you've put
: the seal around the windshield you
: can't figure out how it goes onto the
: car, you may have put the seal on
: inside-out. (duh)
:
: The CGT marches steadily toward
: completion. I may try to start the
: engine and possibly marry the tub and
: chassis next month. Sorting out all
: the electrical mods has really been
: rough, but they're just about all
: sorted.
:
: Possibly on the road by Summer. What
: an adventure this has been.
:
: Thanks for all your help!
