I know it was previously mentioned, but I'm doubling down on cabin heat insulation. Massive time spent on this forum talking about it; there's one thread that's 30 pages long. Maybe something along the lines of basics for undercarriage, firewall, splash shields, and cabin; with recommended products and applications.

Also, another thumbs up for electrical shorts, ground loops, good grounding, etc. Why do my speakers pop every time I turn on the windshield wipers - that kind of stuff.

Also gonna throw engine leaks into the picture. Locations, proper diagnosis and good fixes so you dont spend time/money replacing every gasket when it was the oil pressure sending unit the whole time - that kind of stuff.

And, finally, the non-functioning parking brake always gets a lot of attention.

It seems like every time the subject of convertible top installation comes up there is a lot of questions about finding a good video. Maybe consider a quality step by step video.

Excellent ideas guys, all of these have been added to the list! It will be an interesting day when we sit down to look over all of the suggestions and begin deciding where to start!

Idea.
Compile your top 10-20 videos that you guys want to work on.

Post it here as a poll to see how much interest in each video.
This should help decide what order to shoot the videos and help to guarantee views (no one wants to release Video #1 and it be a dead flop).

Look forward to seeing some of these videos!!

Default 1978-82 Heater Core Replacement

Replace the heater core on 1978-82. I have read posts on it but still do not know how to pull the dash assembly without damaging it.

Someone for the love of God please post a dash/center gauge cluster pull apart video for my 78. Thank you

I get most of the pieces apart and have the dreaded top bulb (PO must have slightly ripped) in mind but can't seem to get it all out. Almost like there is more I need to disconnect (I've done the screws and the ones holding it down to the center heat/shifter console) and don't want to pull, etc.. since it's really old brittle plastic. So then I kinda give up and try to read more but have not really found what I need.

Would love to see how to replace all that rubber weather stripping around the doors and convertible top. Hard top to I guess.
