Finally...another update! I'm not going to add much text, but I've
attached several pictures taken over the past 3 weeks. One of the problems
we're having right now is the window mechanism in the right door. The
opening in the top of the door that the window comes up through is 1/4 inch
narrower than it is on the right side (check out the last 2 pictures). This
means that the window moves out into the outer door skin as it moves up the
channel, to the point that it can't go up any farther. I'm not sure
how I'm going to fix that. On the positive side, I installed the rubber
hose on the fuel filler. I managed to bend the inlet to the tank a small
amount with a 2x2. I want to try to bend it a little more, but if I
can't, I think it'll work the way it is.
What the heck's going on here?
Huh?
Oh, I see. It's my brother, hooking up all the wiring and brackets
for the dash.
Here's the LED indicator for the alarm...a great way to plug that pesky
hole in the dash for the overdrive switch.
Here's the innards (is that a word?) for the headlight dimmer switch. It
wasn't working so I tore it apart, cleaned it up, bent a couple of tabs, greased
it, and put it back together. It works like a champ! The trouble
is, I ground the cap off off it, and I didn't need to...everthing came out
the bottom. So now I have to figure out how to re-attach it.
This is the plate that actually does the switching.
This is part of the spring loaded switch mechanism...
...and the contact plate.
Here's the car with the fenders, doors, and grille installed...starting
to look like a car!
And a side view.
Doesn't this 1800cc power plant look great??
It's almost a shame to drive it.....not!
This shows the gap at the top of the right door...3/4 inch.
And the gap on the other side is 1 inch...I don't know how to fix this...
