The tear-down of Jake's 65 begins....
I need to figure out how to re-title this whole thread as "Jake's 65".... we are well past the tear down....lol
So the left rear window was bolted in place with 2 molly bolts. Once we got the 1/4 cut off, we saw why??? or more like wtf??? the main arm of the window regulator had been bent and twisted around and was torn almost all the way across. Once we got the regulator out, it functions like it was meant to, but was turned into a pretzel. Soooooo....When we made the run to Pittsburgh (hello Bud and Mark!), we brought home a pair of regulators that had issues but were not bent up. Before trying to build one out of two, we decided to try and straighten the bent one and ran a weld the length of the tear.....Seems to work just fine after beating it into submission and greasing all the tracks. We did notice the 64 and 65 vertical track are different. Jake's 65 has a chanel that the slide goes into, where the 64 had a set of pinch rollers.
Not much progress lately, but at least it's something.
