1967 Lincoln Project Update 3 May 2024 Replaced LR Door

Glad I allocated an entire day because I needed it! Just glad to finally be finished with this. I think the door must have come from a 68 or 69 Lincoln as there were a couple of small variations that were not a problem. Also replaced the window motor as part of this. This new window motor did not have threads for the mounting bolts! I had to make my own threads.

Great video. Flashbacks from when I had to replace the passenger window motor in my '71 T-Bird. Took me a month of Sundays to get everything aligned and tightened. Question: Are the gears in your new motor nylon or metal?

[@victorpalma6529]

I don't know what kind of gears this new motor has - had no reason to take off the cover to examine since the motor came with a new drive gear. On all the ones I've ever seen though, the part that engages the worm gear inside the motor has always been nylon while the part that engages the regulator has always been metal.

It looks like that door may have been replaced before. Isn't that red paint inside of it? Maybe that is why it has lock vacuum tubing.

[@victorpalma6529]

Hi. No, all the doors have that coating on the interior. I think it's just a factory type of thing. The vacuum tubing is not just in the door - it extends from the body of the car. I just find it interesting that there is some vacuum tubing at the rear of the car for doorlocks even though the car never had them. Both rear doors are setup the same way - with unused vacuum tubing inside that extends into the back of the car. It definitely saves me some time if I ever do decide to install the door locks.

Thanks for the reply. When I saw the white door, I saw that it also had red inside.
That is like a Buick that I bought years ago. It had no radio but did have an antenna base on the fender, antenna lead and all the wiring. From a wrecked car, I got a mast, radio, speaker and fuse, and I had tunes!​@@victorpalma6529

Cool. I always loved going to junk yards and finding things I could use. My dad got me started on that.

You are begging to lose toes, smarten up

[@victorpalma6529]

Smarten up? I sliced a finger open while working on this door yet did not hurt my feet. Why didn't you say something about gloves? I have always hurt my hands far more often then my feet. Let's focus on what I'm doing with my car, not with how I choose to dress. Thanks.
