the po had removed and done some work on the windshield. The windshield came out great but the lower mounting surface on the back of the dash is trashed. when he drilled out the spot welds he didnt just drill out the metal on the hinge he went all the way thru. now i have twenty some odd 3/8ish size holes on my mounting surface. What I am thinking of doing is cutting out the bottom mounting surface and replacing it with some 1/8 inch flat stock. I am pretty sure I can do this with little affect from the heat but what about the windshield now sitting 1/8 inch higher. Do you think it will be that big a deal when it comes to fitting the doors later. I am not gonna run a top just a safari so I dont think there will be issues with that. I just am hoping to get some good steel in there that I can drill and tap some mounting screws to. Any opinions are greatly appreciated. If a pic is needed let me know.
