some one gave me some good tips when I bought mine:
The windshield frame should move very little when pushed on and not feel "mushy". Look for body sag due to the rockers being rusted away. body mount supports. anything structural....sheet metal can be easily replaced...structural members are more difficult to replace.

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
