My problem is aftermarket doors and the vent window wont fit. I'm going to try and grind off the rivets holding the vent window in the frame and see if I can get it too slide in.
I had an issue with an aftermarket door, so I rebuilt the original. The aftermarket looked good but was smaller than the original. The work to fix it was more than fixing the door I had.
@@oldmanfixingstuff3722 Mine doors and windows were too far gone. I prehung the doors and got the gaps right before paint. Now I'm putting in the windows and the door frame upper window bends at a different angle. I think I can get it to work grinding and making a u bracket to hold it in the channel. My last option is a 1 piece window with glass cut from my template.
there is turquoise pearl in the paint with the blue pearl, you have to mix (very) well before each use. Kind of like when laying down a candy paint. I also found the orientation on each part painted is key. I found when I was painting parts separate they all need to be the way they will be mounted the pearl settles in a way when you look at different angles you can see more blue or turquoise. It is somewhat transparent paint the more layers the bluer it gets. the primer will also change the shade. hope that helps
