1971 duster

-
My 72 was Sherwood green. You've got a beautiful car.
What's the white stuff on the ground? Seems to me we saw that a couple of years ago down here too. :)
 
I know of a somewhat local GF7 car. I see the guy every few years It's a 4 speed car and I believe he's owned it since 1975 or 77

Another more of that white crap has been falling from the sky since yesterday. Hasn't stopped for the last 24 hours. Ugh!!!
 
MyD750 thanks for the compliment
Steve7071 sweet car. I've been the custodian since 1990 so not quite as long.
 
Did you take a heat gun to those wrinkles? If you just warm it up a little with the heat gun a lot of those wrinkles will come out.
No not yet, I will wait unit I complete other things, I will keep to the end, might the sun do it thing

They both go to the control box. One controls the temperature and the other controls heat or defrost. Just move the cables manually to what it controls and mark them with a piece of tape. When you go to put you dash in you can hook them to the proper control. The right cable should control temp and the left should control heat/defrost.

But I have 3 cables, I know the one goes to defrost control

Sorry it's been a while since I did mine. One of the cables allows outside air to come in during the defrost cycle. So 2 cables go to the heat/defrost lever and one to the temperature control.
There's some information on the links above but you can figure what each lever does before you install
 
Today was the rear quarter windows, windows clips, and test fit the molding, also finder marker and hood straps, door cat whiskers was hard to install, very tricky

One of my latest challenges while building the 67 barracuda is keeping dust off the new paint. I could be making a mistake but I have been using the foamy glass cleaner. Really cool car. There can't be many where you are located?

Yes I know, but the will car go back to the paint shop for final sanding and buffing
And maybe small cosmetic touch up, I do cover the car delay after working on it, but still dust find it’s way

I got freshly painted non-mopar project car in my garage going back together right now. I just let the dust stay on the new paint until I can get all the glass back in then give it a full wash. Dust on new paint not a good look but I think it you let it be it won't harm anything where as messing with it could scuff/scratch paint.

Im so close to having glass in the car. Its very exciting. I pushed it outside to be able to put a friends car under the heat to do body work. Some of that dust migrated to the barracuda and its not good. I dont really care all that much as its just paint, just a car, and its gonna get driven but with so much time into the paint......meh, oh well. It will still be the only second gen I have seen around here.

Yup. Agreed. And if the wash doesn't do it, a quick claybar fixes it right up.

The project car I have in my shop is my son's and he used to detail cars at a dealer, buffed them, clay bar them etc he knows more about shining up car paint then I ever will. He told me leave dust on the car don't touch it he will clean it shine it up once glass is in and it can be washed first. So sure the old man is not supposed to do anything sounds good to me.
