To all
I completely stripped my car and am in the rebuild state now, the original teardown was in 2015. The one thing I have been dreading has been the reinstallation of the window frames...and it is kicking my butt! I know what windows I will put in and from whom but no cash to do it right now so I am putting the frames back in without glass. I am pretty sure the glass can be installed later. I could really use some "instruction" from someone who has done this before as I am beyond frustrated and cut up from the sharp edges on all the sheet metal. I had to walk away before I got mad and started physical venting! I started on the rear side windows and snugged them down, then I put the slide bars in the car door before I attempted to put in the actual window rolling framework . I guess part of my issue is not finding good pictures of what it looks like, I will dig into that. Is there a standard procedure for installing all this from a bare frame aspect? I know with the experience the FBBO group has that many of you have done this and I would love to talk to someone about the right vs the wrong way to go about this. Please PM me and I would appreciate being able to call and discuss how to correctly approach this task. Thank you all again..for listening to this long rant and the help. Mocajava
