That's interesting about the vinyl seal. Where do you get that? Would Home Depot or like store carry it?
Whenever I crank the windows closed I cringe at that glass grinding sound as the panes touch each other. I keep expecting one to crack or something. Do you find when they have this on them and are closed...is there any gap out of the sides of each pane?

Kel, Yes there still are some gaps when the window is closed, but not like it was before I added the vinyl seal and pile weatherstrip. There no longer is the sound of grinding glass, which I think is a big plus. Check out Vintage Trailer Suppley: Listed under Windows, Doors, Vents www.vintagetrailersupply.com/

More pictures added to blog. I applied the 2nd coat of shellac today. Also my daughter Katie cleaned the counter top today. After 49 years it still looks pretty good!

New postings to my blog. Birch added to back of Shasta and see how I added blinds to the side windows. Added pictures showing how the high winds last week must have lifted Rosie enough to blow the jack over.

Getting closer to painting the exterior! Cherry Red for the bottom and Ivory for the upper half.

Looking Nice! I like the Ivory top color as opposed to the standard white.

Staging for the car show! Rosie had a lot of visitors at the car show. Many smiles and questions about restoring her. Also, made business cards of her blogspot and of VSTF. Used your logo, Brian, and web address on a business card. Several people stated they will check out her blogspot and this forum. Attachments:
