    We did get all the doors in the correct places. Before we pick up this engine hood we will remove all of the doors to lighten the load. We do not want scratch doors when this hood is lifted. Pretty sure I will mark them all correctly before we do the removals! Learned my lesson!

    6 doors do you think they fit? Nope we moved several several times. We use a gantry crane and two old farts (Howard and I) do do all the moving, attaching un-attaching and reattaching. NOW they fit YES!!!!

    With six more doors to be cleaned then primed with rust converter the shop was a pretty tight squeeze for a bit. Then we would start to put the doors on after Howard completed painting the side hinges for the doors.

    There were six more engine hood doors to clean up, rust condition and paint. I just LOVE to air hammer!

    Howard has completely painted the engine hood now all that is left is to paint the inside of the remaining hood doors (Suede Gray) and place them onto the hood. This will take a bit of time for the doors still need to be completly cleaned up, rust remover painted and dry then paint them. They...

    How to prepare the hood doors for painting. Using Suede Gray for the inside doors. There are twelve doors, four short ones and 8 tall ones like these. First all of the inside sound insulating is air hammered and needle gunned out, cleaned up, washed. Then a rust preventative is painted on and...

    Howard really can do anything... Here he paints the rear hood. I swamped the hoses for him so we have before and completed pictures only.

    Headlights for rear door (rear hood). Rear hood ready to be painted Scarlet Red Quite a chore to correctly mix the paint and special mix-ins to make the paint the correct consistency.

    SP lowered the windows because the first set let WAY too much sun and heat inside the cab. The windows were broken and I found proof Tuesday.... These are original sliders that were in the Krauss when it was retro fitted. The glass was broken when she sat outside at the CA State Railroad...

    How the glass looks. Rich says this is the best glass cleaner around. Sells at Target for $4.00 for a two pack go buy some! PS I have no idea what Howard wrote on the paper (electrical diagram) I just wanted people to see the glass is in.

    Rich heated and worked the glass to bend it over. Then he sliced it (plastic) to remove the last stuck parts and removed the glass piece. He then sanded the glass edges to make it smoother. Since it will be inside a stationary section the glass does not need to be perfectly sanded.

    He used oil and a then some alcohol to literally heat up and melt the plastic after he cut the glass. You cannot see the flame but you sure can watch it move along the area prepared and feel the heat.

    Rich uses these tools to cut the double sided automobile glass. Each window has two pieces of glass with a plastic sheet (clear) in between the glass pieces. This prevents the window from shattering apart in an accident.
