If you are delicate move on.

Let's get this straight, I don't care what you think of me or what I'm doing. This blog is about crap that I like and crap that I'm doing. You don't have to look or read. Go somewhere else if things I say or do offend you. I like bikes, cars, naked women, and booze. Thats the content, you've been warned.

A-100 Progress

With a nice three day holiday weekend and ridiculous weather, it was 65 today, I made some real progress on the van. The motor is out and I finished the one piece window template. Hopefully tomorrow I'll pull the windshield and then visit my buddy the glass guy. Here are the pics-


She used to have A/C





Radiators out



Now I need to source a new one, yuck.


The new shop dog, Cricket. She's not to sure about all the damn noise.


One of my pics to remind me how things go.




And it's out. Only took about 2 hours. Maybe faster with help.



So, now the motor is out I started my next project, one piece door glass. First I traced the front part using the wing window frame. Then I combined the two on a piece of OSB and traced out the one piece shape.




Then some trial fitting and shaving with a file I had a usable template.




I'll make a channel for the front of the glass once I get the template back. That will probably be the most difficult part. Not a lot of room for the welder.

Until next time, the end.

    Are you sure the one piece window will function properly? Looking at that third from the last picture, I don't think it's going to work. With the angle of the rear door frame the glass needs to go down on an angle and it looks like it will hit the front of the door before it goes all the way down.

    Have you tried to raise and lower the template in the hole?
