Have fun Ronnie. They really look good when you finish and you will be proud
of your work. Good results are always worth the sweat.

Well this sounds like a blast! I have about two hours in two windows so far so
we will see. completely torn down and sanded. I guess WW has the best kit but
I haven't ordered yet.
So far only the little slotted screws that hold the frame in place are a
problem. Three twisted off, drilled three out and two just unscrewed.
I took air of pics so in case I get stuck.

Well, you guys just got me to thinking. To me, the single most difficult task
in restoring a bus is those darn windows. And I'm talking about the small
individual tasks that you have to tackle. As noted, you guys got me to
thinking: did you know there are (if memory serves) 22 separate parts in the
just the wind wing assembly (go count em). And there is some 55 total parts in
the entire window assembly. I still have nightmares from working on the front
door windows in restoring busses.
