I responded in McMark's thread about the lack of project threads. Here is my 1973 restoration project. First, photos of when I brought it home.

Another DAPO item to add to the list . . . .
Went to pull the windshield out and had a few surprises. The first was that the chrome molding would not come off. Despite the application of flat head scredrivers, various putty knives, heat, etc. it would not move; even a little bit, much less enough to attempt to locate the clips. I eventually had to resign myself to the fact that there was no way to save it. So, it was eventually removed by prying, twisting, pulling and whatnot - the remains went straight to the trash can and to metal heaven. We discovered there were no clips. We also discovered that there was no butyl. . . . . What we found was the nastiest black caulk/glue ever created by an engineer anywhere. Someone had filled the channel with this stuff, set the wndshiled into it, put some more over that and then "glued" the chrome trim into it. We spent over an hour with a windshiled cutter, heat guns, utility knives, screwdrivers, guitar strings, etc. and the windshiled is still not out. I'll work on it again some more tomorrow. Ohh, and of course it cracked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) In other news, received the harbor freight engine stands that will be the backbone of my new rotisserie. |
