It was in a neighbors Kennedy box i bought for 50.00 when he passed

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks AJ, I guess when your build takes 22 years, people run out of things to say,lol.

Sounds like you have alot of new things in your life now, congrats on all of them, looking forward to hearing about your frame build, quite the undertaking

Thanks Bud, the hard part was finding V/Cs with a threaded boss to mount the coil pack,

Didn't want to drill holes for fear of leaking oil

Still have to relocate O2 sensor, shorten and repin

This seems to be starting point for each piece

Could not bend the 45 degree without warping the entire panel, so I pu the 45 on the flange

Re: PO has me PO'd

If there is such a good thing as a SNAP, I think it was the cam and spring on the post freeing up

But I was concerned that the hinge was going to twist off, so my focus was on the hinge

Jesse, the whole process of rebuilding them isn't difficult, I just lost one of the parts. It was called FOCUS

I picked this one for 15.00, on our boards, and now I have a sample to go by

I'll revisit this at a later date, for now I have lots of other stuff to do

Thanks for stopping by guys, encouraging to see someone actually reads this

Hey Jim, I plan to rebuild my vent windows also, thanks for letting me know how you have done yours. I will check the bottom spring assembly.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Today I was looking at the vent window and noticed a haze on it,

Windex didn't touch it nor carb cleaner

So I went extreme, OOOO x steel wool, took it right off
