Randy,
Now I understand why you wanted to change the handles. The GM handles must have looked clunky in today's world.

I at least partially agree with Dave S (Again!). I used this tool, below, when I did my '31 Slant Windshield Fordor. It worked great on the 70 plus year old screws though you will work up a sweat and give the 2# hammer a work out. And as far as using SS screws there, I probably wouldn't. The OEMs are most likely 5/16-24 modified flathead screws, and are extremely hard material, probably at least equivalent to Gr5 or better. SS, unless you can find some after market with the modified(smaller diameter) heads, will not be fully recessed. Also, most SS screws are no better then Gr 2 material, with NF threads not really capable of holding well
