The blue is very dark indoors.  Blocking work on the panels is underway.

After this shot, not much progress has been made due to a crush of other finishing work on more advanced projects.  So: no new photos were taken this week.  Next week I'll drop off the rear seat so they can install seatbelt mounts and bring a bunch of old panels - that were removed from the car - home.  I hope to have an update photo then.

No update photo because progress (visually) was minimal.  Also I couldn't get the panels because by the time I got there most staff had gone home.  I did drop off the rear seat though.

Nick Angiuli in Florida sent me a bunch of his surplus 404C side window parts for free!  One of the two regulators with its cable was in perfect condition, so I will be using it in my car.  The other stuff is surplus but I can now choose the best parts to use when re-assembling. 

First order of business was to clean off the surface rust from the two regulators - the right one was from the passenger side of my car and the left one is from Nick.  Then the metal was painted with Zinga, a cold galvanizing coating.

The next task is to clean the cables and lubricate the mechanisms with grease and cables with Würth HHS.
