The wood piece isn't the actual piece, the guy I had make this made it slightly too big. So that piece is now on my desk :).
But the new piece will be treated, the guy is going to stain it a little and I'm going to clear it when I repaint my hood. There are 3 holes where the plastic piece was, I'm not sure if that is original but I thought about glueing dowels or I may just use some thin double back tape.
Here is a pic of the the glovebox door installed. I just wanted to see how it looked.

Anyway I've been working my butt off but everything I put together seems to need something fixed.
"Edit, you can buy the wheels for the regulators here http://www.classicparts.com/1964-72-...ctinfo/18-797/, I guess you have to search harder than I did, Thanks KJSR!"
I went to install the new side windows and realized the wheels were broken on the passenger side window regulator. After some research I realized you have to buy the whole regulator... So I searched some more and found a guy that used some shower door wheels from lowes to fix his jeep. I figured what the heck I might as well try and it worked! For 4 bucks I fixed my regulator.
Here is how I did it.

Drill out the rivets holding the old wheels "or what's left of them" out.

This is the broken wheel on the regulator.

Here are the shower wheels. There are a few sizes so pick the ones that fit the closest, you have to shave them down to fit.

This is how much smaller I had to make the wheels, you also have to make them thinner by sanding on the side with the nut and bevel them so they slide into the tracks.

I use these sanding disks on a high speed grinder, they work very well to dothis.

Here it is in the track.

Stack a few washers under it to get the correct distance for the tracks

This shows the original wheels and the new ones I replaced them with

You may want to buy some screws that are 1/4-1/2 longer than the one supplied because once you stack the washers behind the nut the original screws only catch a few threads. I also used red lock tight so everything stays together.

Here's the door panels on with the door handles. I polished the handles too :D, yes in going to paint the screws but that's going to wait until I get it on the road.

Here's the door glass in, I'm really happy how tight everything fits with all the new gaskets. It rolls up and down very nicely!

For my project tonight, I get to figure out how to reassemble the newly re chromed GMC grill. I'm converting the lights to H1/H4s but they will look like stock lights until I turn them on. I rebuilt the headlight buckets and painted them black. Installed the new springs etc.
