Trim on.. Not real happy with the fit of it.. Some of it seems might be related to the replacement sail panels.. Either way it looks great if you don't zero in on the trim fit.. Attached Image

Windows in.. Realized the po owner must have run a grinder or something over the window and the anodized upright.. Mark Epstein says he likely has something to fix me up.. Its good that the car is almost enclosed now.. The house market is heating up so prepared for moving if need be.Attached Image Attached Image

Ben, If Mark does not, I do, enough stuff moving between the three of us I almost lost track of what is going where, and how. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) it all comes out in the wash, in the end.

depends on how deep the scratch is, works on minor stuff, pretty well.

Thanks for all of the updates Ben, good luck with polishing the glass. You might get lucky if you can't snag a fingernail on it.

Windshield scratches can be polished out.
Side glass not possible.
I've had the same issue with side glass and made no progress.
Not for lack of effort.
It has something to do with the properties of the glass.

Ben - if you end up not using the glass, pull off the metal guides and we’ll throw them in our next batch of plated parts.

Sounds good guys.. Allot has been happening over the last week with our home sale so priority 1 is just making the car semi weather proof.. And 1 piece of course..

Think we have picked out our next house which is about a year old on 1/2 acre so waaaay more manageable then our 5 acres with a pond and a pool..

Good news is even though the garage is only 3.5 stalls it has 10 foot ceilings..

Anyhow back to our regularly scheduled programming
