Wow, you're really moving along quickly with it. I don't think she looks lonely she has company right next to her.

Up until Jan. 2008, I was a diesetter at a plastic injection molding plant, automotive supplier. After the shop closed, I found a job at the local Walmart, :mullet:just to make some money at least. A couple months later I was notified that seeing how the shop closed, that I was eligible to go to school to be retrained. So I've been hanging out at the Walmart, and going to school to get my associates degree in autobody So hopefully someday I will be working in the autobody field.:D

 Thanks,yes this is the car the windows are going on. The doors I found were off a Cougar, and had the little chrome trim around the window. I kinda like the chrome trim, so I needed some quarter windows to match.:D
