hows it goin? I love the hardtail style and wish I could do the same to my 82 400j but the roads here will kill me. not an exaggeration, the roads here are lethal. about your stuck screws: impact! hammer the heads of the screws to push some of the metal back into the stripped out area. then use locking pliers on a the correct driver bit for the screw head. hammer the driver bit into the slot and repeat hammering on it while twisting back and forth with the pliers. works for me every time! best of luck
