Thank you .... yeah that window channel wasn't even close to GM, I'm glad I was able to save the channel and it will come out better than the repo parts. Just need to get them welded together without too much fuss.

As for the jamb brace, I can't say I have ever seen what you propose, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work that way.

I think it will work just fine .... just ordered a Cleco kit and extra pins from Eastwood to ease the on/off of the quarter panel, unfortunately it should get here the same time as the cold front .... TODAY!!!!!

So the plan to get some more work done this week .... 6-10 inches of SNOW and it's not gonna get above the teens during the day and negative temps at night ..... and maybe 20 degrees by Monday!!!!

That's too cold to try to heat up to 50 Wish I could bring the car into the living room to work on!
