  Comments/recommendations on installing a 40 Ford Windshield - install windshield then dash or install dash first then windshield?

  I installed my windshields well after the instrument panel was installed. Probably can be installed in either order. However, I would be careful of tighening / over-tightening instrument panel mounting bolts with windshield installed.

  The instrument panel should be installed prior to the glass being installed.
With the windshield, do NOT overtighten the molding screws.
