Thanks Guys!
My Buddy came over today to help me with the windshield. My real problem was the dash was sitting about a 1/4 inch too high on the driver side for the windshield to clear.
We shot a light under the dash pad and it proved that it wasn't the pad hitting the windshield frame.
We took off the defroster vent and that wasn't holding it up.
Then my friend says that it's just bottoming out on the driver side bottom bolt at the kick panel area. We used the grinder and raised the slot another 1/4 inch and that's was all it took.
Then the windshield went in without a hitch.
So I still need to do the headliner and I know itS easier with the windshield and rear window out. But I ended up with all the glass in and I haven't tackled the headliner.
Oh well, Im Sure it can be done. But not as easy as when the glass is out.
At least I got the windshield in. I was stressing over why the driver side dash sat up a hair. Now that it's resolved I can get the steering column in and power up
