Windshield is held in with 2 bolts on each side, easy to remove that gasket on the bottom will not tear when removed.... ( Just saying )
I remove the glass first. Just took it off the wire left it then the handles were east access.

door handles aren't too difficult, best to have the inside panels off and be careful taking the plastic thingy off it is easy to snap. pretty busy work wise and my daughter is over visiting so as soon as things calm down we can organise to catch up.

Do you two FL guys have AC? I spend the summers in Sarasota and would love to bring the Spider down one summer. But without AC, I'm not sure that is a good idea.

Update on my restoration. Went to the painters on Saturday and hopefully I will pick it up next Saturday. I will attempt to put pictures of the paint job when it get back to the garage. Then all I have to do is put it back together.
