OP 40&55Chevys Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 57 Nebraska	Does anyone have any tips on removing the stainless steel windshield trim on a 1940 Special Deluxe. I want to remove it prior to painting, if possible, but it seems to really like it where it sits. I don't want to bend it or othwerwise mess it up trying to remove it. Thanks.

If the center divider (the part that is welded to the roof and the cowl)is rusted out, you may have to go ahead and remove the trim in order to weld in a new piece. It is common for that piece to be rusted away.

I agree. tape it off carefully and paint the car. dtm the toolman 60th Anniversary Meet Chairperson Dave VCCA # L 28873 VCCA #83 Tool Technical Advisor for 1914-1966 VCCA #83 1940 Chevrolet Technical Advisor
