I actually started doing some work on the '75 again this weekend in
between all my other projects (work-related). How do you folks keep
your garages cool? I found that I couldn't stay out there later than
about 9-10 am because of the sweat/heat factor (in Tennessee). I have a
fan or two but they just don't seem to do the trick.
Has anybody noticed how complicated a door assembly is? I am stripping
my parts-car doors to rebuild my normal doors. What a pain! I had to
stop though because I couldn't find my gaskets. I'm thinking I'll run
to the parts place and buy some gasket material to just make my own. On
the other hand, I used some cleaners and got the window nice and clean
(except for the scratches) and got the door handle nice and shiney
(except where the chrome has rubbed off).
Also, I found out that I am missing yet another integral part of the
horn switch: the round "striker" plate that the horn spring switch rests
against so it can turn in a circle. The parts car has one but I can't
get the steering wheel mounting cup off the steering column. *sigh*
Can anything ever just be simple on these cars? :-)
As far as progress though, I did manage to connect the driveshaft to the
rear end and remount the clutch slave!
