1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
Worked on the center trim today. Masked it all up with yellow 3M tape. This worked better than the 3M vinyl pin striping tape.
Shoot it with SEM satin black...
Peel off the tape and there will be little flaws here and there..
Spray a bit of the paint on something and use a brush to touch it up...
Cleaned up the AC control. There is a trick using ozone to whiten yellowing white plastic. I may try it. Also the AC switch that I pulled apart to rebuild a while ago was a failure. The switch points inside are almost impossible to get bent right. I am going to have to suck it up and buy a $250 NOS switch..... choke.....
Set the panel in place...
Time for the glovebox lock.... Of course the tumblers for the Dart have 0 in common with the new trunk lock we bought so we just pulled them out. The lock won't lock but who cares.... The tab sticking up is what holds the cylinder in the glove box. If you push it down then insert the key it will stay down until the key is removed. Much easier to work with.
See, stays down by itself.
This little ring is all that hold the cylinder in. When you remove the key the plate pops up and then cylinder can't pull out past that ring.
