so brian after seeing now all the work you have done and the work still ahead , are you and your parents still happy with your trade ???
pass side inner door frame and door jambs repainted!
latch reinstalled and cleaned up
driver side inner door, inner door frame color painted first, then masked off and exterior color applied.
driver side prior to disassembly of all the small stuff. notice the lower left corner of the door where they must have had masking still on the corner of the door. interior color showing where exterior color should be!
again, notice the masking pattern!
underside of the driver side door. notice the lack of paint that was applied at the factory!
another pic of the underside of the driver side door and lack of exterior paint!
excellent condition of original door (as well as the rest of the car! original sheet metal is nice!)
passenger door almost completely put back together.
door jamb and striker on pass. side door. (Dave did I get the indexing right on the screws?) :smilielol:
driver side door jamb prior to disassembly, original factory tire pressure decal!
original trunk seal showing its age!
more of the driver side door hardware.
factory pass side door gasket, looks and feels like it just got installed back as it did in 1968!
measuring of where original tire pres. decal was for replacement later.
piece of cardboard wedged or installed between the upper door hinge and the cowl :clueless:
more measuring of where the original decals were!
removed the splash shield which was coated in factory undercoating in which we had to scrape it away to get the bolt heads exposed enough to remove them. notice the red oxide primer! Also, we found a piece of bail wire hanging from the mounting bracket hole on the cowl where the bolt "should" (key word!) have been. Apparently, our car had a factory mess up as there was no bolt ever installed nor any shims. Would anyone know what this bolt size was off the top of their head? Worse comes to worse, I can always pull out the one on the pass. side.
notice the 1" wide tape where they masked off the black lower body paint prior to applying the T3 Honey Bronze color. located under the door sill plate.
seems the metal covers for the wiring were installed after paint for some reason :clueless:
driver side wheel well with original factory applied undercoating.
(forgive the bumper brackets, Dad tried to repaint them to save me some time. We'll correct that when we pull the bumper back off to do the rad support black out.
