It's only nuts and bolts and I like it. Made another sojourn up to Wisconsin, to harvest more sample hardware. Figured out how to do it. Pre-printed paper labels, tapped the hardware to the label. Each has a locator number on it and a corresponding number on the applicable assembly drawing. Now...

Just recieved this today, from MMC Detroit. Their Standard Hardware Guide. It has the promise to break down what the hardware looks like and its place on the Car. Its placement for most locations will hopefully be found in Faxons reprint of the 69-70 Body Assembly Manual. Can not stress proper...

Even early run to late 69 and 70. Early 69 gravity holds the top hinge down and a screw ultimately holds the lower pivot point together. Sometime late 69 and 70 the top hinge has a roll pin that goes through the top hinge/ pivot

Plymouth T7 Saddle Bronze Metallic / Iradescent, depending on what paint manufacture chip sheet you look at.

Hopefully the spray outs and the color applied will match. Not to belittle a point. Where the car was they painted it, and gave no record of paint mix. I have one now.

Picked up the remaining parts from the painter today. Hopfully this is what is needed to complete the body. Will know in the spring, need to get back cleaning the hardware and getting organized

I have a 69 parts car tailgate with the washer

Small steps, hood hinges, lower grill panel and quarter window trim out to a shop. For paint matching and paint. Hopfully they can nail the match, recieved no information from the original shop. Enough words pics. Mounted the rear powder coated bumper brackets.

Part two the day, undercoated the inside of the wheel housings. Now for the peskie nuts and bolts.

Getting prepped for the front clip. Harware continues. Made a paint jig, punched holes for the heads to fit through to touch the threads with sime primer and black

Cleaned up the tailgate latch handle of the sand blast dust. Couldnt remember, how the door and gate lock out worked. Either function is disarmed when the glass is up. The top link at about three O'clock acts as a plunger locking both functions out until the window is retracted. Threw on a big...

This weeks away project, vinegar brin solution to knock the rust down on the jumble of hardwre. Also madea hardware spread sheet from the assembly manual, to figure out what i've got and missing. Wire brush and off the rattle can paint shop. Net batch is soaking, hopfully a field trip to find a...

Can not stand chaos, when it comes to parts. Needed to find the hardware for the fenders and liners. Think i found them, now which is which and were do they go. One box down, another to go.

PS Thanks sixpkrt for the powder coater out in your neck of the woods

Parts back from the powder coater. I hope toget the front fenders and rear bumper hung before winter. Had one other surprise after the tailgate got rehung, neither the door or tailgate opens without manually tripping the latches. Hope to clean and lubricate everything, close attention to the...

Today is a momentus day, in a couple ways. Hung the rear tailgate on the car. Things almost went sideways. The upper hing was from 1970. The upper hing pivot point uses a captured pin in the casting. 69' the pin stays with the door hing casting and drops down into the body half of the upper...

Made it through TSA, now to pack the interior bits for the next flight

Bagged, tagged, connectors labeled for their end use devices. Have the harness for patterns, now to decide the next course. Pack'em for the flight back to Chicago this week. Still have the remains of the washer bottle and a complete vacuum resvoir to clean up. Hope TSA isn't a pain, already...
