Did a trial fit of the vent glass frame and the door gap wasn’t wide enough!! Could not get the frame in. Gap wasn’t wide enough. 3/4” and needed about 7/8”. No idea why the gap was too small. Both doors are non original. Measure 3 other doors we have and the gap varied from 15/16” to 1-1/8”. A...

You are very welcome!!! Glad I could help, however I noticed that you have infringed on some of my patent designs. Ha ha Looks like you are making great progress on your build. I'm still working on my ''69 fastback resto and keep running into many issues with reproduction parts. Grrr 1969...

The stainless trim on the rear of the window was installed with the glass setting tape from DMT (who has the correct thickness) I used soapy water (on the outside of the tape, not the inside) and a dead weight hammer to get the strip on the glass. Once dry, it is firmly in place.

Next was the slide seal at the front of the window. The Mopar seals are a universal seal and have to be cut to length and also have the hooles cut in them to match the 2 holes in the glass.

Found a NOS rear roll up seal for the passenger window since the original seal has little felt left on it. (2811622),. Also got the tinted glass for the passenger vent window.

If not goingvto convert, make sure those wiring connections on the ammeter are tight

Did the MAD ammeter bypass wiring mod, plus added headlight relays to reduce the current going through the bulkhead connector. MAD ammeter bypass question

Redline can make it look anyway you want!! This is on my Cuda fast back. On my Superbird, the lettering was stock butvthe gauge was calibrated son that the pointer was centred at battery voltage. Jim

It is a Marren #0201. This is where I installed it. A lot of fittings, but I wanted to get it tucked under the air cleaner base.

I have a single line. I decided to install a damper based on what I’ve read. but haven't fired it up yet. Jim

Got ready to install the flocked sealing strips on the trim piece on the back of the window glass and they are too short!! After checking online, others found the same problem. Sent an email to DMT. Fortunately I kept the originals and they are in reasonable shape.

Great news - Barracudakid has a vent window glass for me. thanks Started to assemble the drivers side window frame. Installed a new gasket ( not an easy job!) but it did not fit correctly at the top corner. Wrestled with it for a few hours but could not get the wrinkle out. Took it back out and...

Thanks! I checked with Dave LeTourneau and he has one. He Will send photos tomorrow. Hopefully is not scratched.

Wrong parts!!! The right side vent window glass was clear when I bought it. It should be tinted since this is an AC car. Years ago, I found a tinted one, but now when I'm ready to install, it turns out it is a left side vent window glass!!! (They have a different curve) Anyone have any...

My polishing got interrupted somewhat. Had cataract surgery last week in one eye, so vision has been a bit blurry. (surgery went well). Plus a car club member wanted the carb overhauled (another of my hobbies) on his '66 T-Bird, 390. Turns out it is the original carb. A Ford Autolite 4100 (480...

A good workout sanding the stainless trim on the window frame. Will polish next.

For info, I’ve also used this for corrosion protection. Flows easily to get into tight seams.

Agree that this can be an important adjustment. After assembling the passenger door, the door lock did not work to lock the door. Made a small adjustment and now it works!!

Last step was to spray some rustproofing in the pinch weld seam. Lots of different products, but this is the one I use.

Drivers door internals installed. Good thing I had taken disassembly photos showing where these rods connected to the door latch mechanism!!!

My son made one for me and even painted it, ready to install!! Original on left.

My son found one in a spare 69 door so we have a pattern. It is 1 3/8" x 3/4" x .210" plate. 1/4-20 hole in the centre. 1/2” Allen head bolt with captive 3/4" washer.

Another setback!! I've lost/misplaced the vent window frame retainers and bolts!! Searched all my parts 3X and no plastic bags with the parts. I seem to recall I had left them in the doors when I sent the car to be blasted Looked in the bottom of the doors and found one bolt lodged in the...

Got the trim installed. Window felts didnt fit correctly either. Would not stay clipped in place. Had to glue them on the vertical section.

Then noticed that the belt moulding trim has to go on before the interior trim panel as well as before the outer cats whiskers are installed- because 2 screws secure it from the inside!! It should just snap into place, install 2 screws and done. Didn’t happen!! They did not fit correctly on the...

Then noticed that the lower trim panels at the sides of the rear seats covers up one of the window mechanism’s adjustments- so they have to come back off. So- the bottom line is that both the front and rear windows must be installed and all alignments completed before any of these interior...

Assembly sequence woes! I have the rear window mechanism’s installed some time ago but not the glass. Decided it was time to install the glass and get the catwiskers installed. Then discovered that the big black interior panel (in the last post) that I just installed had to come off so I could...

Thanks the panel goes on a lot easier when it isn’t forced to go over that tab.

Posted this in the Body section. Help with garnish panel install on 69 Cuda FB. but only got 1 reply. I'm installing the rear window garnish panel and am unsure if it clips over this tab or not. I did get it over that tab on the pass side, but was very difficult. I took 100's of photos during...
