That might be an original wing nut, in the map pocket!


Great project!

Its a screw and the washer for the drivers door panel., upper rear.
I have some screws and spacers in the jack tools storage area that I will take a picture of and post to see if anyone can identify them.

The interior just needs to be cleaned maybe new carpet. The drivers seat back is loose by the inboard hinge. The exterior just needs to be cleaned and waxed. The chrome should turn out decent with polishing, hopefully there is some minor pitting.

The trick will be the engine.

It will need brakes , rotors , calipers and pads. but that is easy
I need to put it on jack stands and inspect the undercarriage.

This is definitely a must see thread!

I was expecting the inside to be as nasty as the outside, but it looks pretty good! Nice project...drop top with air! Keep us up to date with your progress and with pictures.

The little critter looks as surprised to see you as you did him!

TJTYLE

We both were surprised . I had to poke him with my flash light to coax him to leave.

Any idea where I could expect to find the build sheet? vin is 715xxx ,
On top of the gas tank? Inside the dash?
I also posted a thread with a picture of hardtop/conv parts in the jack tool box. I need some help identifying. (I know where the silver side mount hard top screws go)

Don Rickles

The rectangular pieces are seat shims along with the large washer (should be three more washers and a small cloth bag).

To add, those shown are for the '69 only. They are quite hard to find! Clean them up and you should find some stampings on them as well. They are, I believe pictured in the new NCRS Judging Guide.



EDIT: Didn't see the second thread you started........

On my 69 I found the build sheet in the frame rail where the power steering cylinder rod end mount attaches to the frame. T

I found something else cool on the car. The radiator shroud is dated. Do other 69's have the anti freeze rating written on the shroud? As shown in the picture is the SET -20 and the date which in my case is valentine's day 1969. with a heart drawn on the shroud.
do other shrouds indicate SET -20 is SET initials or just the word set? (Trim tag shows G01)
The reason I ask is because it's kind of a coincidence my wife's initials are SET and my youngest son was born on Valentines day. My wife was a little ticked that i got the car . I didn't tell her for about a month. Now I can tell her this car has her initials on it and it was born on valentines day

TJTYLE

Thanks I found the 3 other washers mounted on the seat back. No cloth bad yet.
