Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
door glass is usually just flat safety glass like an industrial machne would use. if you have the original frames they could likely be filled with glass from a local glass shop. you would need the original dimensions though. sorry, i am away from home right now or i would get a pattern for you.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
Got both doors sanded buffed and polished now. Next is a bunch of small stuff since I'm in sanding buffing mode, lol.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
That paint looks good. I wish I had that talent.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
This board is the last thing I have to sand, buff, and polish. Then I have to shift gears. Been doing this apply, then sand and more sanding for over a year. It was August of "23" when I hauled all the parts to town to get them blasted, time flying for sure.
Sure am glad I can have my shop 70 degrees when I'm out there. The rest of the time when I'm not there it's about 59 - 58. I almost forgot, but last January I broke my left arm so I was down to a couple hours a day in the shop for a month or so which may be some of why it took so long.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
I'm wearing those things at night now. They keep the wrist from flexing. I have carpet tunnel on both sides. Had cortisone in Dec.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build
It really is bad to not have full use of our hands. I've heard carpel tunnel is really bad, several friends have had surgery on their arms. Hope it works out for you. I do stretching on my wrists every day and have a vibrating machine to keep the wrists loose, it helps me quite a bit.
