So all my popout glass was delaminated pretty bad and some of my frames were rusted so I bought some nice dry popout frames from Mikey from Yuma Az while I was at OCTO swap meet. I packaged them all up and shipped them to my house from California. Now I've got to clean them, paint them the correct color then reassemble them with new rubber and all the new glass I had cut for the bus.
