  1. Right rear inner quarter looks clean. plastic fuel vent T broke off, was very brittle. Hoping there is a reproduction for that part. Spare tire space has some surface rust, after a quick wire wheel, the light under the car trick showed no stars ⭐️showing through from below….. border line to replace, have evaluate further for course of action.
  2. There is a proper name for the decipher……looking at the “white dot”, over or under letters of appropriate name…
  3. Roof/door frame of body at top of quarter window showing some decay on drivers side, will need some repair.
  4. Removing glass today documenting quarter windows … both dated 9/69 rear hatch…..dated 9/69 passenger window…dated 9/69 front window was aftermarket that literally crumbled in my hands while removing Drivers door window 9/70….”door and glass appear to have been replaced to that approx year.
  5. Vacuum out passenger door this evening quickly, noticed a small flexible tab for holding a wire inside the door!! Proof the door light was really a thing….. or at least a thought anyways….. this is fun so far… not enough time in the day.
  6. Just a few minutes to dig around on the firewall…… Breath of relief, tunnel and firewall look almost perfect under the heater core….
  7. It is difficult to determine true intentions of comments, sarcasm, etc…. This is exact reason I’m posting here on this site to avoid some of the peanut gallery…. It’s all good here, bring it on …. I hadn’t noticed the lines on my grandsons lips…. Way more dust in the air then I intended.
  8. Had time to strip “tar mat” off passenger floor today, some rust, couple of holes in normal places. Couple normal rusty places without rust. I planned on replacing/repairing frame rails, but may try to patch damaged spots to save original floors.
  9. The “stitches” are the dust from wiping off the ash tray then using a tooth brush to clean the item……. You been around long enough to know red dot……. …… Hope your day gets better…. David
  10. Better picture of firewall vin stamp, proper inspection lid, and a small example of needed parts…… But my “part doner car” 740 is showing great potential. Red dot mirror, radio, console, perfect fuse box,and ashtray dash wiring harness!!!. Much needed parts for 51
  11. I’ve read the rebuild thread from 6-7 years back with interest….. of hs30-00051 Are there current pictures to drool over somewhere?
  12. I’ve seen 4 names associated with it, doing searches online of the specific vin #…… It’s basically been in this state of disrepair for at least 30 years….. interesting list of comments on BAT back in 2013ish. I’m Assuming it was flipped over and over…. No one having the passion to make it right.
  13. Even in October 69 the wiring was in place for an electric fuel pump install.
