After attaching the windshield side supports, I was able to get help fitting the windshield into the car and see how they lined up with the frame mounts for the windshield. Of course the windshield side mounts were about 3" - 4" too long and prevented the windshield from sitting down on the body. After pulling it back out, trimming the windshield side mounts with a Dremel and a hacksaw it fit in nicely. This is to show you how much had to be trimmed off on both sides.
Unfortunately the slots in the body aren't quite far enough forward for the side supports to line up with both holes in the frame mount on each side. I will need to expand those slots in the body just a little more forward. Here's a shout out to my fiancee and helper Michele for helping me fit it!
Turns out the windshield moved slightly between marking the driver's side and then going over to the passenger side. So I decided to just drill the driver's side, bolt that side in, then mark the passenger side. Turns out the sharpie is pretty easy to wipe off the chrome finish.
