It's not all bad news - Opening a big plastic bin that came with the car turns up some more new chrome and some missing trim pieces - in the photo, the reburled instrument pod with a refurbished speedometer, the reburled glovebox door with a refurbished clock, rechromed windshield center post, vent window posts, hood handles, and flying lady hood ornament with glass. Also, the reburled front and rear window centers, rechromed radiator grille bottom and horn ring, and really nice front fender trim, plus a side view mirror. |
All of the parts are now here - I took off early from work and filled the truck with everything left in the storage container. There were quite a few parts I was concerned about, such as the side window tracks. I'll get pictures of the haul later. And better yet, Richard Hall of the TRAACA gave me a truckload of parts yesterday from a parts car he used to have, including a complete heater assembly!
Now comes the long process of trying to identify everything I have and get it sorted out.
