Ouch! The forklift at the storage facility escaped and rammed my trailer. Their insurance co. is paying to replace the panel.

Am I cursed? Three days later, I find this window broken out, right above the puncture. Can't prove it was related, so I have to pay for this one. With the curved glass so hard to come by, I feel lucky I found somebody with one of these for sale - thanks, Nick!

After much deliberation, I decided to have Executive Air Repair, at Executive Airport in Sacramento, install the new panel and window. They did an impeccable job, on schedule and under budget; I couldn't be more pleased!

The new panel is so shiny. Now I have an added incentive to get moving on stripping that peeling clearcoat!

Scarcely had the Safari returned from its major repair, than a burglar attempting entry pried and broke the 17" curved glass window to the right of the door. I got it into safer climes (dark and depressing indoor storage, as shown at right ) immediately, but it's a classic case of the barn door...

I dislike plastic, so the quest was on for a glass replacement. A local glass company got my hopes up, but then never followed through. After about four months of searching, I found somebody who was parting out a '67. My understanding is that the windows in the '66 through '68 coaches are interchangeable, so I sent him a hefty check, and now I'm awaiting the new window's arrival...
