58 Shasta Restoration progress

Being able to get the project inside a building with lights and a concrete floor is a plus, I built a new garage almost ten years ago with heat & air, insulated to the max and most every conceivable tool known to man and it has been wonderful with one exception, I built it to do automobile restoration and had no intent of using it for anything else.

When I purchased the '56 Shasta I did most of the work behind the garage but the weather turned bad and I thought I could get it inside, I removed the wheels and removed the top vent and I still need another 3 inches to get it inside, now it's still sitting behind the shop covered up. Danny

Good morning.
I have made some more progress. My wife had to scrape windows yesterday and she let me know about it again today. Time is ticking.

I don't feel to bad for her since she keeps pulling me away from the project.

Got the front window glass replaced and all sealed up.
Got the the street and curb side windows with new rubber and installed
Got a coat of shellac on the door

Again, clean for 2 hours work for 15 minutes. I guess cleaning is work.

Left to do
Trim
Eye brows
Door
Trailer lights
Back metal
I almost forgot, get the 2 dinette side windows installed. That will take a bit of work

Drag it outside
Install vent
Install axle

Put it in the corner and wait until next year.

I learn something every day. Danny

Thanks for clarifying my brows.

Last night I finished putting rubber around rear window. Can't install it yet. I need to get the wiring and metal on the rear.

I also made a new corner trim piece for the curbside front. Will make a new one for the street side in the next couple of days.

Couple more coats of shellac on the door. I think I will need to go down and get another quart of amber and clear so I can finish up the trim fillers as well.

Being it is Halloween tonight I will most likely get nothing done since I either hide in the basement with all the lights off or go to a movie.

I am that crazy old fart that the neighborhood kids want to trick or treat at our house, we buy the kind of candy bars we like and if they are not gone by the end of the evening we enjoy them ourselves.

I have a old Model A sitting in the side yard (Yard Art) and when the kids come up the driveway I have a remote on the lights and they come on and give them a good scare.  Danny

The clock is ticking. I put the 54 into storage and was able to do some work on the 58.

Got the back metal on.
