Made more progress with the window. I'll have to trim some of the excess new inner lip pieces in spots., I made them a little long to make sure they wouldn't be short. The shrinker & stretcher work well, but take a some practice. I had to put a cheater bar on them to use with this guage metal. The stock/short handle was not working. I put that deck/outer slice piece in 1st, then I got most of the inner lip areas and frame work fixed, now moving back to the outer. I will have to make the top outer lip piece and that will be last.

I agree, Nice work, Id like to get me a shrinker and stretcher! Im trying to decide if i can afford one of the metal flangers, and i imagine there pricey.. Looking good Daytona!

Man, you make it look easy! i know it isint, just sayin...
 
Looking good. I don't hear any complaining about the shrinker - stretcher lol. So it must be working out ok.
 
Here is a spot anyone with rust should look for. These spots, 1 on each side, are under the sailplane support/inner framework connection to the top of the wheel house. The are a perfectly square/rectangle where there was a water catching box made by the support above. These should patch easy.

Yeap, had to patch mine "pretty easy fix". Your patching is looking really good, keep it up.
 
After all the work you just finished, i imagine this was a walk in the part, Thanks for the updates, i saved a few pictures just to use for reference if need be on the window channel! Thanks.
 
Here's another spot.

Cool, Looks like your getting the hang of the shrinker and stretcher! That piece looks good, Mine would have a v cut about the middle of it, i think those tools are well worth the money by the looks!
 
And that one is done, that was the lower left outer. Now to the upper left outer. That big hole in the bottom pic is lead, that will be tricky to fix.

Wow, your skills seam to be getting better and better "not that they weren't already good" but those look great, I wouldn't have been able to tell you fixed the one had you not said. Keep it up
