I finally got the driver's window regulator sorted. Removing the metal lifter rail from the window was nerve wracking. I made it even worse by refusing to remove the window from the car. I didn't want to remove the frame from the door, so the window would not come out. So I pulled the regulator back out to make room. Then, I used a thin screwdriver to pry the window from the lifter rail. It took some cautious levering and a lot of sweating and holding my breath. Once it came out, I started putting things back together as best they looked they'd work. After a little trial and error and a lot of Lubriplate grease everywhere, I got it all lined up and tightened down. The window works very well and I even put the door panel on. Did I put on the door handles before I put the door panel on? No. No I did not. Brilliant.
I took one picture that came out poorly. It looks just like the passenger side, so I reckon it won't take a lot of imagination to know what it looks like. I'll take some pics this week as the weather continues to warm and I get back out to the garage.

There are a lot of reasons for me to push the car out to the drive, but I still have the rear end way up in the air from pulling the engine and I'm hesitant to drop it back to the ground as I lifted it by the engine. With no engine, I'm very unsure on where to place a jack that will get the height required to get it off the stands safely. I have the car pushed pretty far over to one side of the garage so lifting it from the side will be much more difficult on the driver's side.
Because of this, I'm going to try to make the engine a priority again and get it back together so I can get it back in the car and then get it on the ground. First, I need a ring-compressor. So I'm going to pick one up this week and get the headstuds and P&Cs on the engine.
