Re: Project Penicillin~ 68 crewcab build up!

And we are back!! Spent about 8hrs today working on the window chanels on the door and getting the window regulator all set up.

Ok for some info on the different pic's.
The door I used for the 4th door was a truck drivers side front. This had a few changes that had to be addressed like where the vent window is on the front door it had a narrowed section that had to be removed for the window glass and weather stripping. Then the rear of the door window rails had to get a narrowed area for where the fixed glass is located in the 3rd and 4th doors. Then the rear area had to get a false bottom welded in it for support of the fixed glass. Then after some time with the window regulator we had a working window. We were looking at changing the angle of the fixed post but by using the Burb doors their just is not enough room to have the window move straite up and down. The window is designed to move slightly towards the rear as it drops in order to miss the hinge reinforcing area. If this was going to be a show truck we would have removed the hinge reinforcing area to get the window angel changed. But since this is a daily driver we did not want to jeperdize the structure since his grand son will be slamming this door quit a bit.
