More Progress
With a long holiday weekend here, I was able to put in some good hours on Project Unicorn to get this thing back on the road.
First up was putting on the front and rear bumpers as well as installing the grille as well:
We seldom run the stock over riders on our resto-mods, but I must admit they look good here. I really like the original Emerald Empire Sports Car Club (EESC) badge that was on the car when we rescued it-- that club is still active today!
Then it was time to tackle the doors. I never like building doors.
The quarter windows were rebuilt with all new seals and adjusted properly:
The 67.5 door pulls have a rubber stopper that disintegrated when I tried to adjust it, and I knew that the door pull would not be happy without it, so I managed to replace them in situ (which saved me from having to pull all of the door locking mechanism out again!)
With the door lock mechanisms and window regulators lubed, adjusted, and working properly, I could then break out the eye candy.
NOS window cranks:
The door escutcheons repainted and the rubber bumper re-installed:
And doors complete:
Happy to have that all behind me-- on to the windshield next!
