Where did you find those brake rotors?

 

[detmatt]

Same place I found the last pair I bought, eBay.

You coming to the swap meet on the 10th?

Not sure yet.

I Forgot those Yachts were Dual Caliper. Just give up on broomin' that "Double Pickle" My Friend. It'z already in where it'z warm 'N toasty, and it likez being there. I can tell just by the treatment it's receiving. Think of it az ah Early Anniversary Gift. But the ground rulez are: stay out of the Meijer's Store parking Lot on 8 Mile and 75. But you already knew that 'bout Door Ding City, lol

Give up? I haven’t hardly started! And no Jer, I can’t keep this car. I never had any intention of it and then a couple of days ago I was told a certain ‘68 RR might even get its turn in the paint booth soon and I have nowhere to put it.

I can relate to that Matt. So many fine pieces of Motherz Iron, so little time or space lol. Just funnin' with yeah Pal, But you knew that?

After replacing 3 motors and cleaning/regreesing all of the assemblies I’m happy to report that all of the windows are now operating properly, yes including the vents!
Since I have everything apart as far as door/interior panels and the back seat I’m going to give everything a good cleaning and polishing before putting it all back together. I’ll post some before and after Pics.

This is how the driver’s side was rigged up to be able to “lot” drive. I ordered new brake hoses today and I’m getting excited to be able put the new parts together. I’m really enjoying returning this car to the living.

I have an old pair of those hose pinching visegrips. I don't think they have been produced for a long time. In truth, they're doing the only thing they're really good for, because they'll damage a good hose pinching it like that.

New bearings, races, seals, hoses, rotors, calipers & pads.

I really love those seats!

Ok now all of the windows are working properly! One of the motors I put in the passenger rear was very slow going up so I had to replace that one a second time. I also stripped, stained and clearcoated the wood strips on the upper rear interior panels while they were out.
Here are some before shots of those.

Here’s the rear all put back together. I still have to spruce up the wood that surrounds the window switch and ashtray on the lower rear panels n front of the armrests.

Looking great Matt!

 

[detmatt]

I also welded the spare tire bracket back in place, it was detached and set aside and finished cleaning the trunk floor very well before putting the padding and carpeting back in. I treated some of the surface rust to some rust inhibiting primer or chassis paint or something.

 

[detmatt]

The next owner might want to replace the carpeting here in the truck as well as the interior.
