Mission Creep
Mission creep has arrived....My family and friends hate to help me with anything because upon the completion of any job or task I always say "Just one more thing...",
Well maybe a few more than one. My Pal Dave was feeling a little left out of the heater core project so he came over tonight and we did a few more things. The rear sway bar is off the car for bead blasting and bushing replacement. It's pretty cool - the remnants of the factory sticker is still on the rear bar. We also got the dash bezel removed as Randy Combs is putting a new, old one together for me. The center dash vents were busted up and new replacements are now in place. I'll try to yank the gauge lenses sometime this week and polish them to remove the scratches. Lastly, we removed one section of the body side molding. It sure looks like it was installed at the dealer based on the aging of the attachment screws and the visible paint fading. Happily, at least on the section removed, it was attached so securely that the paint was not scratched underneath. Hopefully this will hold true on the longer sections of molding. Regardless, there are screw holes so new stick on molding will be installed. If anyone wants the original dealer installed molding it will probably be available.
Here's a few pictures...
