More Console 2

About 40 years of dried glue is just amazing to get off the console. We are just going to repaint the back paint and shine up the chrome the best we can. After all that cleaning is done we will put the new woodgrain "sticker" on the console. Not too much work on here, but just something else that needs to be done.

Middle Console Repair

I called on my cousin Larry (Cooter) to help me get the console back into shape. It seems someone had busted out the back plastic piece in the console for whatever reason. We suspect a hiding spot as the carpet still covered the area. Larry devised a plan to rivet a piece of metal for strong supprt. He likes to make a cardboard layout before he does any metal work. Then we just bent the metal to fit the cardboard. It worked great. Now I need to clean it up, paint it, and place the new wood sticker on top. Then it goes in the car.

Back Window Installation

There was a lot of prep work involved in the back window installation. Cleaning the chrome and back windows, along with getting the back area smooth and level. The greatest thing was the propane heater we borrowed from Larry. It is an old model, but it still pushes out a ton of heat. This will allow for more work through January and February.
