Ha! that would have been the day I put the stainless trim and new gasket on the windshield. Sure would have been easier with four arms! I think I used my entire alternate vocabulary and invented a couple new ones.
Installing the glass shouldn't be too bad.

Windshield install went slick using the "ripcord" method and a spray bottle of dish soap and water. Definitely a two man job.
Today's fun involved a 4" grinder and cup brush to clean 55 years of rust and old paint off the 17.5's.
Nice to be able to work outside....it went to 40 today!

Slow progress, I literally wore out a cup brush on my grinder doing the 4 rear duals.
They were pretty rough on the deep sides, and I took them down to bare metal. Just the two fronts left to do, after I get to town and get another brush!

Ha! You know it, spur! I didn't have a full face shield handy, just safety glasses, so I looked like a dog that got into a porcupine by the time I got finished. It is doing a nice job, though.
