New header already ordered.
Went wheeling yesterday. Did a few recoveries.
One I hooked the winch to and couldn't get it to budge ,  tried the kinetic rope and pulled him out easily. Felt good to take a break.

Made a frame for the inside of the window and used L-brackets to attach it to the supports.
Drew out the cut and measured 5x before cutting it out.
Nothing like cutting a hole in a brand new trailer.

Started to snow when I had it mounted.
I have PTSD.

Looking good Rattiac. Scary cutting holes in new things. Fancy LTD's, (and others) back in the late 70s had big ol cornering lamps on the lower front side of the fenders. Most of Fords replacement fenders came with out the hole, and you had to cut a big rectangular hole. Even though a template was with attaching parts package, it was still scary to me.

EDNY, thought of you last week. Tom was delivering farm chemical to a customer at an old airfield. They were cleaning up outside the hanger and were trying to get him to load up an old 140 Cessna to get out of their way. Said it looked like wind have blown it into something sitting, wing tip and tail tip damage.  :D

Nice day today ...I went out and wired and  tested the single Din Stereo unit with back up camera....finally got it wired and camera works real clear...don't have back up lights so I will have to mount a switch to activated the camera when backing up for the time being....and then locate a spot to mount the camera.....

Finished up the insulation by the window.
Got rid of the scotch locks on the wiring and used butt connectors instead.
Started putting the wall back up, just need to cut the window hole.
Here's an outside pic.

Ed, hope that back up cam works good for you. When i give Tom back my Dodge p.u., the cd and fm quit working... just AM radio. He picked up a am/fm, w/ mp3 aux port pioneer. It's half the depth of a cd player, and cheap. I think i can get it to fit in my dash, the normal one lacked 1-1/2" from clearing my Vintage air box.

EDNY, Tom said to look around small airfield arial sprayer co's. He said he has seen several different sprayer companies he delivers to had 1 or 2 hulks out back.

Rattiac, you got her going on man. Keep at it! Oh, on you fuel line on the '32, I just buy a stick of line at the parts store and bend mine up to suit. If you have a flare tool you can just put a bubble flare on each end to make a hose barb if the line fitting they come with is wrong to carb.

Working on 2nd Viking door yet. Went to DA sand 2 paint jobs off. 20mins and four 6" discs to get 8" high on door. Tom bought a box of Dura gold paper at a good price. 23 cents per disc cheaper than 3M gold. Haa, it isn't a deal if it takes 3-4 discs to equal 1-3M disc. Lesson to him! ;D
Sent Tom down to get paint stripper. He got the last gallon of stripper containing Methylene Chloride. Hardware guy says that's it and can't get anymore. I thought that was just illegal in California 😡

I hope they decided on a black top for that '67   ;D   Dad had an orange '69 GTO Judge for a while, (400/4sp) cool car!

Finished 2nd Viking door. Missed damage to upper window inner frame. I knew there was a lead repair at the front corner of vent window, inner was cracked and bent both front and back. Had to bring the truck over for a test fit before i welded it up.  >:(
Now i have some rust repair to do on the grill surround.

Had a fella call couple days ago with a 59 impala 2dr ht deck lid with rust around the outer inner structure where the rubber seal rests against. He has a couple 4dr deck lids for parts. Nobody else around wants to touch it, imagine that. ;D  Fun fun, but i haven't seen it yet.

Yeah, black goes better with the colors of the car.
In fact, it got a black cloth top. Kinda adds a touch of class to it. 8)

You made short work of that! Around here it would sit for a month before they touch it.
