Correct, as usual Bart. Again, they were originally bought for a '78 Bonnie but I liked them on my ride so I kept them. They could be a little wider for me but they'll do for me as long as they last.
Simple Man and mudslinger, thanks guys.

Great looking Goat. You have to feel good when you look at it now and remember what it looked like when you started. Man, that roof would have scared me to death. What is the color? Mine is Alpine Blue and yours looks like that also, but I seem to recall that it is another shade of blue.

Thanks guys. It does feel good to get to this point. I'm still slowly getting some other things together. I need to replace the drivers side door glass and I'm not sure if I should put the fuzzies on before I get one?
Anyone know?
Any time Craig.
By the way Mike, it is Meridian Turquoise. I'd say 50% call it 'green' when they see it and 50% call it 'blue'.

Greg.....you have done a great job. Beautiful color combo and the dog dish caps really set it off.
Well done.

Greg,

yes, the fuzzies first before the glass gets installed. Technically you can do it with the glass in but you need to drop it off the track so the glass drops all the way into the door so you can get the strip clips to clear the angle to get them in/out of the holes.

Thanks Ron and Randy.
Dennis, thanks for clearing that up. I need to get the glass first.
I actually got one from the other Dennis..the one that did my paint...but when I got it home, I saw that it was configured differently than mine. I confirmed it was the wrong one with the Fischer manual.

Greg, I ran upon a decent used right door off a 68 LeMans last week and bought it. I have not looked at it real close yet, but for 100.00 bucks for a complete door , it didn't matter. I needed the vent window, hinges, outside handle and a few other parts. If you need a right side door glass, I may can help you out. Mike

I appreciate the offer Mike but I need the driver's side. The guy that painted my car gave me one but at this point, I'm not sure if he gave me the wrong one or I just picked up the wrong one out of a pile of other stuff. I may try to go down tomorrow to verify. It's kinda holding me up as I'm at the point where I'm about ready to do the interior but I'd like to do the glass swap first.

Greg -

Looking good! MT is a great color; I was going with that color for my 68 'vert until the last minute switch to Nordic Blue.

Thanks Scott. Yes, I recall you mentioning that color I think. That's the car that was originally one of my other faves, Mayfair Maize, correct?

I love that color combo Greg! Like Dennis said, you're in the fun part of the resto now. Almost makes me want to start on my 68 Lemans now.
