Re: [A/S] restoration

Just installed a Fantastic vent on my '64 Safari- Square corners. I t was an 
exact fit. 
Instead of drilling out numerous rivets, I adapted somebody's advice about 
chiseling them off: I used a good, rigid, sharp putty knife under the flange 
and hammered it, which nicely sliced off all rivets. This done parallel to 
the edge gets it done quickly, no damage to skin. After cleaning with some 
fine Steel wool to get old sealant/putty off, it went in no problem. Silicone 
and closed cell gasket screwed down with self-starting screws. All in all, 
the job went easier than I though it would. Hardest part was balancing on a 
HOT roof- put a plywood sheet & padding down first, this helps.
A quality product, which will certainly improve my ventilation. I just wish I 
had it a month ago, while boondocking in CanyonLands NP.
