So two weekends ago, we made the choice to use two spare doors I had lying around to replace my rear doors due to rust issues. These rear doors are window doors. I called a friend of mine in So-Cal to see if he had any pop outs for my van in his parts. It just so happened he was at a junkyard and was looking at a mid Ford with pop outs on it. He picked them up for me but they were going to need some work.
They were covered in black out paint and someone had tried to work them out due to a rusted bolt, bending the hinge in the process.
I made quick work of the black out paint with a scraper. I ended up taking the window to a guy around the corner I know who is a mechanic/restorer. Within 40 minutes, he had the hinge straighter and moving like butter.
I also got to see his bitchin F100 with a Coyote and a Whipple Supercharger.
I still need to clean up all the old gasket around the edges and paint the frames.
I am going to remove the old rivet on the hinges, polish the chrome, and then re-install.
