Do we have a front window channel run DIY instruction?

Thanks Jack, it's nice to put it together for once.

Mike, the front channels are perfect used ones, I mean perfect. The rear doors I made with bulk channel. In my haste, I didn't take any pictures of the assembly.

I will settle for written words.

Yeah, I'm also guilty about not documenting the procedure during assembly. Sometimes you get so caught up in trying to get it done, taking pics is an afterthought.

Wife has me cleaning the pool, but, I am messing around in between. I cleaned the spokes of the black Turbo Buick steering wheel. I got the door seals in last night. I bought some from Steele rubber, but they are rebranded Metro seals. The soffseal are hard as crap. I used the best or the 2 sets of metro seals, since the original ones were all deformed and crap, and taped them down to get the doors to close.

They seem too tall on the rear doors by the quarter panel vent, i taped them flatter. We'll see how long they last like that.

My 3m window primer should be in this morning, I'm going to attempt to put the side glass in.

I also painted the rear spoiler, hatch glass frame, and PS a Piller trim. Not happy with the finish, so I'll be doing it again. I probably shouldn't have done it in the dark, damn those Yuengling's.[emoji15]

Been there, done that Jim. Have a little liquid courage and start spraying in the dark thinking everything is fine, then seeing it needs to redone.
My new motor is in my shed, so i have to work with what I've got, with no lighting other than my flashlight. When i painted the block a couple weeks ago i was certain i had hit everything. Come back after flash time with a light seeing all kinds of missed spots! Talk about frantic spraying before recoat time has expired lol!

All in all buddy, you're making killer progress! Keep it up!
