How about a picture of what you have? That way we can give you an idea of what you need. Do you have the door ("valance") and hinge stuff? How about the actuator can? I'll be happy to help.

Hi, if you could be more specific on what is missing, and also I have found that info in the Service manual, the 1968-1982 Restoration Guide and the Assembly manual (for your year) has been invaluable, (check out the Forum store, at the top of this page) I would recommend buying all three for reference and using the forum here as there is a lot of experince here to be drawn on as the help I have received from various members has been great! Good luck and welcome,

I will try and get a picture, but as far as I can tell everything is missing. Everwho stole it put a hood on it that covers all the way to the windshield. I can order a new valance but it is the workings I need help with. I will order the manuals.

My suggestion is that you buy the assembly manuals. All the parts are there in the body and moulding section. Page M65 or thereabouts.

There's a pile of little pieces that you'll need. You might want to see if you can find a car locally or at a junk yard.

Good luck

You need the assembly instruction manual (AIM) for '69. Everything is there, including the original part numbers, notes on the factory installation, assembly drawings, etc.

I'm guessing you'll need the wiper door, but how much of this stuff are you missing?

An AIM and ServMan are a must for your library.
