wheee!

Mine was given to me by a friend that welded it up. I would make it adjustable for centre of balance... mine was unwieldy at times when rotating and I had to watch out for fingers etc! The dual engine stand method works too, but I would try and build something that allowed for some vertical offset positioning. or a retail version that can be resold for minimal loss later or re-used on the next project!

I was going to respond with that very theory last night, but alas was too lazy to post... I had the same thing happen to me once before while welding up some steel pieces that were being positioned with a large magnet. The weld just popped right off!

Keep going! Good work so far.

Fine. I’ll go back and powder coat them pink for you too....

Prepped!

I have some to spare...

I will use the snow for packing material. Should keep things nice and safe en route!

These any good?

My rotisserie is sitting in my driveway now... I might cut it up and modify it to make it more adaptable and storable...

They are yours for the cost of shipping if I find them. They are in a pile of scrap metal outside.... under 22” of snow....

The doors changed for the last time in August 1976

I will take a look for them. Might still have them!

So the nearly 12” of snow today has cancelled my plans to strip the doors outside. i decided to rebuild my sand blasting cabinet instead! Bought new plexiglas and glass to replace the etched old stuff. Cut out a hole to place the led light in a better spot for more even illumination. Turned out pretty good! First I pulled out the old glass and plexi then I marked a hole for the light I then screwed the plexi down along with some sealant to seal it. and then replaced the glass and plexi lid. So much brighter!

What happened to the old set of 75 cards you mistakenly ordered the first time?

That's just it. As good as the OP's at least and reasonable price, otherwise I will go and have custom door cards made and rebuild the backings where the speakers had been cut in.

Haven’t looked at the cam yet, but Jim said it was good. I will check when I assemble of course. Here’s a couple intake shots.

For those of you following the stroker rocker issue, the Delta regrinds arrived with Jim as well. Comparison shots below.

The reason for the repairs is that I have the Skillard stainless door sills with Datsun cutout. I will have these overlaying the painted sill so the green comes thru! Example below. On a patch of painted shell for example

Repairing the holes left in the door frames by the PO rust proofing. A finish coat of fine strand fibreglass filler will seal these up nice.

Gratuitous helmet shot

A shot of the locking ball head.

So Jim arrived with goodies in hand yesterday. The shiniest part is the throttle cable wall adapter and throttle pedal ball connector. Custom made by the legend himself. Install was straight forward. It starts with a stepped piece that is threaded that aligns in the firewall for the throttle linkage. After that, the throttle cable is threaded thru and the custom end with the soldered capture ball for the throttle pedal is locked into place in the pedal ball. A few test fits and trims to make sure the pedal stops on the pedal rest and not on the cable end. Alignment was perfect with stock pedal! And a couple shots of the engine bay side. Thanks Jim!

His original pics did not show the detail of the door lock position. I supplied pics of a tape measure with the correct position. He measured his car (correct original cards) and then the spare cards (77’s) and they were not the same. Once again, the elusive unicorn door cards elude me.

Thanks anyways [emoji22]

I believe this is the correct measurement
