CLASSIC WINDOW REPLACEMENT
#1

Finally replacing the nasty old windows for my 77. I decided to rebuild my original windows, its more work but I wanted a certain shade of blue tint.  When the coach was repainted they also painted the frames so I have to strip them with aircraft stripper, 
I wanted the original anodized aluminum look. The new tempered glass only comes in 1/4" , the originals are 3/16. The window felt I purchased from penninsula glass is made for 1/4" so it will work well.

That's going to look really sharp! Now all you have to do is anodize the frames to match the glass  Cool

I would love to Tom, but we will have to make it a visit. Were planning on leaving a coach down south so we can escape winter once in a while.
 We'll make a plan and work on some projects and have some fun!! Big Grin
