Window Frames Fabricated

Here are the window frames I had to make since I was never able to find a complete set for any reasonable amount of money. I copied the one i was able to find, but made it out of flat steel bar 1 1/4" x 3/16. 23 feet in all. Getting the angles was a little tricky and needed precise measuring. Then I welded it all together and drilled holes for the mounting bolts. I also welded on mounting tabs on the ends, but only did one on each side instead of 3 like the original. The heavier steel i used doesnt flex like the ornamental sheet metal from the factory.
Maybe someday I'll swap them out if I ever find the other side that I need.
