    removing outer aluminum trim from windshield

    Hi all, I'm trying to remove the upper/outer trim from the plexiglass windshield of the 1963 Starcraft Starmist. I managed to get only ONE of the 6-8 or so clips to release. It's brutal! I tried to make a tool to get it done, but gave up after an hour or so. Is there a trick to do this? A...

    I made a new wire harness from the motor to the junction box, but would like to add the generator. I have a manual that depicts the wire size and other items needed to install the generator. Just have to collect the parts.

    1959 Texas Maid Fiesta

    Ha. Not intentionally. I was given this ‘63 Starcraft from a friend about 15 yrs ago. Say behind his shop until the beginning of this year. Looking for parts I came across the ‘62 Holiday. Stripped it and traded hull for the ‘59 cause it looked cool! Then, looking for parts I came...
