I checked the power window plug while the drivers side was apart. The window switches are not the same. One is up, one is down while pushing froward. So, I checked the wiring to see if it was the wiring or the switches. Then, while doing the passenger side, I noticed I never removed the access panel on the drivers door. It isn't there.

An overnight soak in Purple power cleaned it right up.
A trip to Corvette Mikes got the lock pawl clip.
I had to pull the lock to assemble that.
Had to pull the outside handle to install the new rod and pin.
Now to crawl into the door to finish.

Done. Gauges work great.
Driving it hard gets it up to 220*
