Fortunately, the rear window channel needed only a little tweaking otherwise was in great shape. The rear window’s seal had a breach at the bottom channel and would let water in the trunk, but, fortunately the car led a garaged life, so no damage (rust) in the trunk. The entire interior is now out, save for the dash and steering wheel, so this is getting pretty serious for a ‘scuff and shoot’! The front fenders were removed and the back sides and inner fender wells were covered with something like ‘cosmoline’ that is practically impossible to remove, so more work needs to be done to get them ready. The original carpet (tags are still on the underside) got a first cleaning along with the original seatbelts. The front bench seat base is pretty ripped and worn (hence the seat cover) and we’re going to take it to the upholsterers to see if they can match the vinyl grain and pleat pattern. The seat back looks to be in nice condition.

It sure is! I wonder what they want for that one and what the option list is...? Could it be another 350HO Custom S?

Dan replaced the driver side motor mount which required the removal of the starter to make it easier to do. The old mount was crushed allowing the engine to lean down so much that the exhaust manifold almost hit the crossmember. We discovered the Custom S has its original 1107355 starter dated 8-L-1 (Nov. 1, 1968) as well as its original torque convertor with the '55' paint stencil. He also replaced the original heater core that had been solder repaired and had a slow leak in the core at a previous fix. Rear window, bumper and tail lights back on...a new tinted windshield had to replace the original non-tint that had a stone chip that spread all the way across when it was removed...bummer. Interesting to know that the 4-dr windshield is 1" taller than the 2-dr windshield. Making progress...
