Swinging for Divorce…

I have no doubt Rufus would run him over lol. One episode Redford had owner pinned behind tree. Owner called Rufus to bail him out and put a beat down on Redford lol.
I’ve seen clips of Rufus the bull, that owner and bull are pretty funny. I think it’s awesome when Rufus attacks the side by side.
 
Goats are good, we have to bottle feed them which the kids are liking. Our biggest dog loves them and wants to be in the pen with them all the time.

The goats have lice it seems so we bought a bunch of livestock de-licer and other stuff to put on them to kill the bugs.

Local painter coming over this week to check out the car and get a quote together for me.

Need to get the engine out. Thinking of lifting the car off of the engine? Or would it be easier to take the hood off and just use the engine hoist to remove it from the car?

Beautiful family and "setup". If i was gonna detail a lot of the suspension i would lift car off. Otherwise out the top. I've never pulled out the bottom. If I had a hoist yes.
 
Stole hood and trunk latches off of the black car as I didn’t want to look to hard for any in my bins.

Cleaned the old paint off of them and installed them on the car.

Trying to think of what else should be “installed” or on the car when it gets painted.

Some items that don't have body paint on them in my 67.

The hood latch on the hood has some color but I think it's over spray from 2 past bad repaints. Nothing on the back side of it.


The safety latch I think was black at one time.

The rest galvanized color.


Basically if it's rust colored no paint.

I have seen many catches painted, body color but not the latches. I would think all the catches were also raw, galvanized, off the line. Most repaints are get-it-in and get-it-out, so the catches were painted. I like the comment, "if it is rusty, it was not painted".

She is a Bernie-Doodle, we have another Bernie doodle and also a golden doodle.

This one is Daisy and she listens worse than my wife does, and is very stubborn.

I’m going to have to figure out how to attach these rear marker lights. The rear AMD quarters aren’t the same as the stock quarters.

looks like just drill new holes in the amd panel to suit the markers.
neil.

That’s what I was thinking but I hate drilling holes if they aren’t needed.

Almost thought I was going to have to drill holes for the battery tray, but apparently there are like 4 different ways these things were attached.

Copper car vs purple car mounting

Bezel is in the correct way, I only know this because it says “top” with an arrow on the back of it :lol:
What I am suggesting is to turn the bezel inside out and check to see if the bezel fits the recess in the 1/4 panel. The mounting holes can be adjusted.

Bezels are the correct size and fit in the location perfectly. Here is how one person did it, but it was like 10 years ago, he hasn’t replied yet.

you only need to drill those tabs so if you want to use the markers then new holes are definately needed.
neil.

That’s what it seems like

No need to drill. A small set of visegrips or channel locks and push those slots into position.

I’m not totally sure what you mean?

Bend the tabs, keep them on the same plane with the plyers. Hard to exlpain I guess, I could to it in about 5 seconds.
 
I think he's saying using a pair of Tyler's bend (or push) the tabs left and right....keeping them the same distance front to back so the screws line up with the slots.

If I did this then I’d need to weld the brackets to the body to get it to mount like factory right?

I think like the person did in the thread from 2016; if I cut the studs off and then drill small holes 1/4 or M8-M10 and attach some
Captive nuts there and screw it all together it would work. Maybe I should see how far in the lens go to make sure I don’t hit the screws.

I'm a bit confused...

The factory does not seem to have the backup plates that clamp the housing to the quarter.

It also looks like the tabs could be bent to fit into the correct positions.
