Re: "FRAME OFF" Has Begun - Wish Me Luck! - Pics

Well, I jumped back onto the vent windows....Actually traded my repop inner grille that I didn't need for a set of really nice Chrome wings....only swapped the handles from mine as they were a bit nicer....So, I got them pulled apart tonight and after a couple hours of sweating and quite a bit of swearing, I got the first one done....

Only screwed up one pivot rivet....So, on the second one I chose to remove the bracket rivets instead of the pivot rivet as they only give you two pivot rivets in the repair kit.....I'll get the second one assembled in the morning......overall not really that bad once you understand how it all goes together....The lack of a vise kinda hurt me for setting rivets but I improvised...The dishsoap tip I read about is a must for getting the seal in the groove...thanks to whoever you are



Ok...glad thats over....they came out really nice...A little hard to latch, probably take a little while to get broken in!
