Thanks for the input... I have changed many door and wing windows but this will be a first for this type of glass install. It seems to be very straight forward. Just like every other project.. the remove and replace is smallest part of the job.. I cant take anything apart with out cleaning sanding and painting which makes the job a week long project.

No argument here. I cleaned everything up and POR'd the jams. Why put new stuff on old rusty stuff?

Good luck.
