This isn't going to be much of a post as it is still cold, wet and snowy. Which means that I still cannot get back to the metal work on the car. Instead I pulled out the old doors and pulled everything off of them that I could even possibly consider reusing. I ended up being a little disappointed as a lot of stuff was missing. You'll see how much in the pics. At this point I might just replace everything for the doors since there was so little hardware there to begin with. I used
Alex's guide to taking the doors apart, it helped me find a couple of those fiddly little things.

Driver's side door latch, and various rods and the handles. |
|
The window out of the driver's side. |
|
Looking inside the passenger side door, you can see the bottom of the chrome for the window with broken glass inside of it. |
|
Better shot of the remainder of the passenger window. |
|
I had the vent window on the passenger side, but no vent window on the driver's side. Of course I also have the driver's window, but no passenger window. I guess it makes things even. |
|
Vent window removed. |
|
Passenger window hardware, didn't have a driver's side. |
|
Empty window chrome. At least I still have it. |

Another piece of the window hardware. |
On another note, I was on ebay (I search through those listing several times a week) when I ran across this fold down seat. Now I didn't have one with the car and so I have always been a little worried about where I would find one, and I really didn't want to have to pay the repop prices. Well, needless to say I won the auction for this 65 seat and now here it is sitting on my living room floor. It cost me a fraction of the price for the repop, and after I refurbish it, it will still have cost me less. What's that you say? It's a 65? Don't you have a 67? Well the good news is, that I can modify the fold down seat to fit into my 67 pretty easily as all the rear seats from 65-70 are all the same dimensions. Pretty cool, huh? Maybe I'll work on this while the weather still sucks for me. There is a great site about these seats, you can find it here

In the fold down position, just imagine that the bottom part is under the sections. |
