Not sure how well this will show up in the pic, but the plywood around the window frame is not the same thickness as the steel framing.
The passenger side window and the drivers side window frame area. I used 3/4" plywood to hold the frame of the window in place.
The steel is 1" thick. Since 3/4" plywood is not 3/4", it will take an additional 1/4" plus 1/8" piece of plywood to make a 1" thickness.
Pet peeve of mine. 3/4 inch plywood is not 3/4 inch, 1/4 inch plywood is not 1/4 inch, and 1/8 inch plywood is not 1/8 inch. Go figure.
Ok, done with that.
I am gluing up pieces to fit around the window frame, so I can add 1/2 inch insulation, and then 1/8" plywood on the inside.
