Haven't put the hood on because I gotta get Eric Sanders (Partsman) over here to put the crap in under the hood - then drop the gas tank and associated parts in. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Well guess I better go outside and push the car back into the garage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/type.gif)

My neighbors must think I'm nuts. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Guess they never saw anybody wash a car with no doors, etc. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

I've never seen anyone wash a car with no doors.....

Yours looks incredible though. Love that blue (Normally hate the color).

As far as painting and fixing things that nobody see's, I'm with you; YOU know it's there....................

Small steps towards completion. Goal to keep moving every day. Every day put in at least one hour on project. Driver door completed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I know its a small step, but this car has not had doors on the body for about 2 years. Kinda like the looks as the car comes along. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

My wife said, hey that's starting to look like a car again. Then she got closer and said: where's the motor? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

So tomorrow's goal is to finish the passenger door, hang it and move on to the seal around the inside of the door and across the top of the windshield.

Oh Yeah!!! I got them, wanted to save the pictures for the sun tomorrow because the pedal assembly glows like gold. Tomorrow I may just have to put the pedal assembly in. Damn, I kinda hate screwing with that master cylinder again, had to take it out last week to put the grommets in place for the plastic lines going up to the reservoir. That damn line on top that runs to the passenger side front brake, makes my neck hurt just thinking about it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)

Why is it there is always some part that no human hand or tool can reach? Who built these cars, elves? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I've run out of adjectives...
Excellent and wonderful seem kind of weak...
I am not worthy...

Where is the "spooge" smiley when you need it?

So this weekend, which was a real heat wave and very humid here in Massachusetts, I managed to finish up the passenger door and hang it on. So, decided to wash the doors and here is the finished product. Got go take the kids to Star Wars now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Doors turned out to be quiet a project. New felts in both channels, new felt in the outside window wipe (man what a project that was - my method for install turned out to be get one side of the piece completely in the channel and then flex, bend and tuck the other side in), new rubber wipe on the outside, everything thing inside the door degreased, polished with steel wool and lubed before going back in, had the lift mechanism blasted and painted, new seal for vent window, cleaned the glass, etc. Gotta work on the door panels and vapor seals next.

Yeah, almost forgot, put mirrors on each door. The passenger door did not have a mirror (like everybody) so I drilled the holes and taped them for a mirror on that side. Great idea and simple job. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif)

Wanted to post some pictures before it is back in the garage and back up on jack stands. Got that Eric Shea pedal assembly to put in. Since I had to put the grommets in for the plastic lines to the reservoir, the master cylinder is already out and will go back in and then the gravel shield and hopefully that will be it for under the car for a time.

Here's a pictures of the door, probably can't catch all the details, but everything (and I do mean everything) has been replaced, renewed and detailed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

After the pedal assembly, the seal around the window pillars and across the top comes next, then the sub dash and dash pad, and then the instruments. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif)

Can't wait to get under the cowl, get the wiper motor and fresh air blower motor and vents in place, then drop in the gas tank, etc. and drop the hood back on the car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
