Yo, ECFJr III, it looks worse than it is. It started to thunder storm an hour before the pic was taken. It's like the desert at the beach, it never rains here. Thus, the engine was whisked into the garage at the last second. The garage measures 20x26, fairly large for a beachside home. This place would make a good Cunado photo shoot location once straightend up a tad.

Hilltop, not sure who built it there. So far is running super strong , very peppy. The heads are supposedly supplied from a Cali company.

That garage is definitely NOT Cnight approved.  |
True, True, Chadwick is Mr. OCD clean. Wish I had more free time to keep things more organized. However, as those with small children know, free time is hard to find. Again, it looks worse than it normally is. I never thought the thunderstorms would reach the beach. So when it did, things were rushed into the garage haphazzardly. lOl

It was awesome! Strong tropical force winds, approaching a category 1 Hurrikin! Wide open is an experience at 65 mph.
Thank you for helping a brother out!

So the running inside joke is that Chadwick always overtightens or breaks something while working on a bus. All of this is in a good way. Chadwick is very OCD and is very meticulous in doing things right and above all else, being very clean and organized. So in true form we had a great time today putting the safaris in. Here are the casualties:
1: driver side window broke during removal(aftermarket glass)
2: passenger side mirror busted(was already broke & repaired:aftermarket as well)
A Big thanks goes out to Chadwick & Earl Carter Finn Jr III for use of the Cunado Auto Works facility!

Did you not razor blade the seal on the inside and run a small pick/screw driver around the outside of the seal? That always works for me.

Those seals were rock hard! Spent more time cutting them out than putting them in.

Mark the bus looks great. congrats on the cool factor.
Chad,
how long did this install take? I have a set of Safari's for the 58, but am leary of cutting the bus to get the screw plate installed in the top frame.
is there another better option.

damn I hate when that happens. if they are rock hard you definitely need to cut the the inside lip off, ain't gonna just slip out with a push. Sucks your glass broke.
Thinkin about getting my first set of safaris soon for the Sundial.

ZuggerBugger,
The longest part was cutting out the rock hard seals. All in all I think it took 1.5 hours maybe 2. It would have taken me prolly another hour had I tried this by myself, especially, my first install. Chadwick, however has done multiple sets. Considering how hot it gets in Florida, I can't believe it took me almost twenty years to install my first set. Fresh air is nice and it never rains in Neptune Beach, so leaky seals won't happen very often.(just when I leave the beach, lol)
