C8 progress in Texas

[David DeWeese]

Wow, that's a lot of great information on the side curtains! Sure answers a lot of questions I was eventually going to ask...

Getting ready to tackle my wooden roof structure, and had a question:
I have two 90-degree angle brackets in the rear upper corners of the window openings, but no brackets in the front where the windshield header wood and upper window opening wood join. Am I missing some brackets, or were they ever there?

My roof panel is in bad shape, but still very glad to have it! You can imagine from the photo how bad my original back cab panel was bent to also warp the lower angle iron on the roof.

I have only one of the original rear window mouldings so I will use it on the outside. Made an inner one out of 16 gauge sheetmetal that will work, but only gives me about 3/16" gap for a rear window. That's OK as I have some 3/16" Lexan sheet here that will work if I don't use a window gasket.

Thanks, David
