Thanks again to all who replied to my inquiries about the 140 EM conversion
and the convertible top removal!  I now know that I won't be having to swap
that bell housing now which makes me very happy, and I think I'm going to
leave the top in place and mask it very carefully... not sure on that one
though.

Also I'd like to state for the record that I apparently mis-paraphrased Bob
Helt when I mentioned the EM clutch issues.  I won't try to clarify that
one without the book in front of me.

Now on to my latest question.  Yesterday I resumed work on my friend Ben's
first Corvair.. a cheapo kinda rusty 62 coupe that will be a pseudo daily
driver.

Is there a trick to getting at that (one per side I think) impossible screw
on the side bright trim pieces around the rear window?  I need to remove
them to clean up rust around the edges.  There doesn't seem to be any way
to get at these screws from inside or outside the car.

Thanks for any help, and I look forward to seeing some of you at Corvair
events in the coming months.  I intend to go to the Corvair Ranch open
house, the Corvair Olympics, and try to skip enough meals to sqeeze in
another event or three... I need to lose a few pounds this summer anyway
=).
