I decided to start getting rid of the built in trash cans and build out the floors in Old Man Tan. I didn't spring for the weld this time and decided to use rivots instead. Right below the rear seat. Not done yet, drill bit broke and didn't have another one the right size.

I have had a few people ask on Facebook how I removed the rear window with the tracks misaligned with the window. As you can see there was quite a bit of an angle difference between the track and the window. This is the driver side, passenger side was not as bad but still a slight angle...

Thanks for the reply, heading down to pick up some sheets of steel this afternoon. I think I will get a few different gauges to experiment with as I am learning the ropes. Most of the wall will need to be cut out. I will keep folks updated on the progress. Hopefully faster this time than my...

Alright my fellow enthusiasts of everything old and beautiful. I am going to take on the task of refabricating the rearcorner panel. I plan on doing it all via hammer and hand cutting. I have spent the last six months watching videos on people doing similar so I figure why not give it a shot, I...

Clos, ADS L200C. They had the quality of Bose but lost to marketing. I will be restoring to speakers and putting them back.

No joke on the speaker mounts. If Blue Belle went over a cliff the only thing remaining would have been the speaker mounts.

Big win today. I woke up determined to remove the rear glass in one piece. Metal can be fabricated again, not so much glass. Well after only minor cutting I was able to slowly get the glass down so I could open the rear door. Oh man the rear door was a f'ng nightmare. Finally got it cracked...

Got the bigger hammer. Next issue getting the glass down. It is at a different angle than the bracket.

Thanks @gonzopancho. I completely missed that was the pin. Will attempt later this evening to apply heat and some anti-seize stuff if needed.

I have the rear window detached from the motor and arms but I don't know how to detach the part that holds the window from the arms. I have seen people post about latches but I can't seem to find latches. It looks like it slides out but I can't get the arm to move without the main bar moving...

Work on Blue Belle today. Got a temporary wiring harness in place and working lights. That my friends is a win for today. Now to tackle that damn rear window and motor. The motor tries to work but something is seized. And a picture of the sunset because it was beautiful.

Thanks for the link @RUSH55 definitely something to work towards. Beautifully done. Also, the cup holders are still there, once I start driving it more I may need to upgrade.

The Pigs have been low priority lately. Started the reconfiguration of the dash for Old Man Tan. Blue Belle, well she still runs and will get some electrical love this week.

Yep it does.

Anytime
