Time to get started again

Well, back from Panama a little early. Was an interesting trip. Bugs got me bad, and i'm a little skinnier now.
Anyway, back to the F1. Wanted to try to eliminate the wing windows on the doors. Took all the guts out and cut a template for a full piece of glass out of hardboard. Had to cut the top metal anchor spot for the guide rail off with a hacksaw so the full piece of glass would go up through the slot in the door. wasn't sure the glass would go inside the door with out a bunch of cutting somewhere. It's a tight fit but will go in and turn inside. I also thought I might have to add more length to the bar at the bottom that pushes the glass up, but that seems to work okay also. May have to put a guide piece inside on the wing window side. Works good so far.
Ordered a new set of made for 48 Ford F1 bear claw door latches by Altman Easy Latches from Speedway yesterday and they arrived today. There a little pricey, but at least they are made in the USA. Started laying out the drivers door and will work on it this weekend. Looks like a good safety addition to the doors.
