Thats It, hide your eyes - I'm going to strip!

Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Slow progress

Postby prohandyman » Wed Nov 07, 2007 6:17 pm

This is why I built the cargo conversion first. I had it sitting there not being used, and it gives a means of camping while I take the slow route to construct the tear. Now, are you ready for this? I have already been asked for a price in the event I want to sell this one!
Can you believe that? :thinking:

Damn dude, that is some pretty stripping!! Is that glass in the window frosted or is it that bumpy stuff you can't see through?

glass

Postby prohandyman » Sun Nov 11, 2007 7:42 pm

Yes, it's frosted. I bought them cheap from a surplus store. I was hoping the texture was on the outside so that I could tint them, but NOT! Does anyone know if you can tint on the exterior of glass?, Frosted is cool, but i want the look of dark glass.

The two panes look to be symetrical. If so, maybe you can remove them and reassemble the setup witht he frosted side out.

Or just remove the windows and flip them around 180 degrees in the frames if they aren't the same size.

windows

Postby prohandyman » Sun Nov 11, 2007 8:57 pm

I thought about both of those ideas, but the manufacturer must have used some very good adhesive. I'm afraid the glass will break with any more force. I even tried heat. I guess we won't have to use curtains!
