Finally!

-
I remember struggling with my Hardtop rear glass and even worse on the Ragtop glass which is smaller. Glad you got it done. :thumbsup:
 
Greetings!
Well, after 5 years at two different body shops, my 67 Dart is finally home! Now comes reassembly!
Hope everyone is doing well!

Gas tank installed! One less thing to do.

Did you clearcoat the tank, or install as received?
Nope! Installed as it came. I added a new insulator pad on top and anti-squeak straps. Those stuck well using some 3M adhesive spray.
 
i hate building parts that someone else took apart. it's like doing a jigsaw puzzle without the lid off of the box.
neil.
It is hilarious that you said that. I have helped my best friend Mark restore three cars. A 67 Mustang, a 82 Chevy short bed stepside pick up and a 56 Studebaker Power Hawk. In all cases, he did most of the disassembly on the cars. He did not mark, or label anything on the wires when he took them apart. I label wires so carefully when I take them apart, that I know exactly how everything goes back together. It took me days to rewire the Mustang. And there were a couple of errors in the wiring diagram that I had to trace down. He did the same thing on the 82 stepside. It took me days to wire the stepside with a wiring diagram. And right now, we are 90% done with the 56 Power Hawk. All we have to do is paint it and put it together. And guess what? He took the wiring harness out of that car with no labels. Guess who gets to fix that? L O L.

i feel your pain. on the other hand i've bought car jigsaws where the guy who stripped them was obviously ocd with his bagged/labelled parts, they're great.

That's funny to me because my brother and I are opposites, he's the OCD/ADHD that labels every single part. I'm the "I'll remember where all this **** goes" who rips it apart. Fortunately I have been able to remember most things that I have taken apart and reassembled everything with little trouble, so far.....

i only tend to label wiring, bolts get put in boxes. these are usually front of car, back of car etc so i know that bunch of rusty bolts go there etc. it works for me.
 
I'm pretty good with identifying bolts from my 68 Darts but I bag and mark everything anyways. I use painters tape on wiring to write on. Also easy to remove years later.

Since the wiper motor didn't work when bench tested I figured I would see what I could figure out before I give up and send it out for a fix.
Pulled the switch off and then pulled the white round gear. The grease is pretty degraded but it doesn't seem hard enough to stop the round gear or the worm gear coming from the motor from turning. Guessing the problem is in the motor. (67 two speed unit)
