All three of them were fighting to save the OG frame and glass… and SUCCESS!!! Franz did it with heat and pressure 👌🏻Never make somebody a priority who makes you an option.
Question : How many shop dogs does it take to save VW OG glass ?
Answer: All of them .
Good work guys !
The glass sucks though. It’s tempered and scratched…so it won’t polish out. I’ll get some pictures of them cleaned up and we can decide to use them or cut new.
Getting ready to blast and paint the window frames now.
Doug was here today and yesterday knocking out panel install. Only missing the bulkhead panels which we ordered today.
Ive been knocking items off the rapidly shrinking to do list. Cleaned up front the door handles.
Installed the horn button, rear view mirror, and seat belts.
Fit and installed door seal also.
Both mirror arms were stuck. Driver side gave it up pretty easily. Pass side is fighting the inevitable.
Franz is currently in the paint booth.
We will build it if it comes.
Yep, window frames blasted and painted. We may want to sand these back for patina if they look like sunglasses on the bus.
I did some cleaning on the glass. It’s not great, but I think it will look ok with some wax. The driver’s side glass is the nicer of the two.
Them windows didn’t want to give it up!!!!!!!!!!! soaked in oil for like 2 weeks… we had to porta power them, torchem and fight em!!! 😎
AND NO, nothing got broke… Yes, we know what we are doing here…. 😎
Thanks for the call yesterday Buddy! Your bus is coming out awesome!!!! I hope we get to cruise together somewhere this year!! Maybe an Octo or something???
Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎
Pat’s polishing the bumper trim 👌🏻😎

Working through the grits: 80, 180, 320, 600 all on the DA. Then final sand 600 by hand, then buff.
One down!! Others mostly sanded.
We will build it if it comes.
Noice work Pat The Polisher

Test Pilot @ Submarine AirwaysSafari windows ready to assemble. I repaired and polished all the parts. Everything is OG. Even the glass looks a little better after polishing with aluminum polish.
What was decided on the safari frames? Fresh paint or sand them down a bit?
