Got the passenger window frame pretty much finished tonight out late in the garage. The bummer is, this sucker is way more rusty than I thought. So I will be spending a little time tomorrow and see if I can weld up some of the rust and save it. If not, I will have to make the decision to get better ones and chop them or just go ahead and plan on painting them. I really wanted all these mouldings to be chrome.

And am I the only guy who constantly welds his vice grips when using them like this? I thought there was enough room and wham, welded to it, geeez.
