Default Advice on replacing windshield frame

I'm getting ready to replace my windshield frame on my 68 convertible. I plan on replacing the whole thing, spliced at about the top of the door hinge. I have a donor. Has anyone done this, any advice would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Is it best to cut the top of the fenders than to remove front end?

Remember to be VERY careful with the transfer of the VIN tag.
