Windows - We've Got Windows! - Part 3 - Unobtanium No Longer!

Unobtantinum - No longer! *

First the lower "back-window" is fit into the window opening.















The original vintage Airstream window frames which were restored with new glass, are fitted into the street side.















Curbside, the rebuilt fixed window with the original frame is positioned with cleco fasteners.















* Colin the miracle worker - he found a way to build a new window hinge to replace the missing one!
The street-side original window was not missing but the hinge was destroyed.












The curbside windows cleco'd  and with protective tape is ready for vulkem and then buck riveting.















The curbside window and awning back-window is riveted to our 1955 Flying Cloud.
 
Street-side window and back-window of the awning window is riveted to the exterior aluminum skin.
