Windows are done. Here's how the Sovereign looks without the upper and lower small windows.
and the view from inside.
I'm very satisfied with the outside top patches. The lower ones don't look quite as appealing. Maybe that will improve once I get the time to do some polishing.
I wanted to keep the interior all Zolatone, but I did't have any spare skin. The sliding Vista View covers were used to cover their respective openings, but I had to use shiny aluminum on the lower street side windows. On the curb side, the panel below the window can be moved up by cutting away the area with the window hole, then patching below with shiny sheet. Eventually, this won't be visible due to plans to install a bench seat along that side.
I do have a question. The eyebrow cabinet space above the front window has two puffed out wings. I would have guessed they were for the front speakers, but as you can see, the speakers in this Sovereign were installed in the wall below. Is this another ad hoc (and less than spiffy) move by the assemblers back then? Is there some use for these wings than anyone else has thought of? I'm going to put a wooden cabinet in the eyebrow space, like the one in my Caravel, so maybe there is some way to curve that around and take advantage of all the overhead space up front.
