Windshield Molding

[<55fordf100@xxxxxxx>]

I have started the tear down of my 65 Marlin. Hope to have it in the paint shop the week of 28 November. I have been reading the AMC list for some time now and realize there is a wealth of AMC/Rambler knowledge on this site. I have a couple quations to get started. (1) Do I need a windshield molding removal tool to remove the polished stainless molding on the windshield gasket? Or is this molding set into the rubber? Mine doesn't want to come out. (2) What is the largest tire/wheel size I can go with on a Marlin at stock height? (3) What is the bolt pattern for the wheels? I would like to buy some after market wheels. Maybe some Old School American Racing Torque Thrust wheels. Appreciate any advice.
