yup. started to do that, but it has adjustment left to right and i wanted to mark the whole range of adjustment. i put a paint pen through the hole and slid it through its adjustment range and it marked an oval perfectly. i guess i could have punched one side, slid over, punched the other side, then drilled 2 holes and burr'd out between the 2.
that's what i thought.. but its cast metal.. and thin.. like way smaller than the other self tap studs.. its more like a spike.. i'll see if i can get a pic/video to post of it, but i ordered hardware for the vents and all it had was the bolts/nuts for the bottom. if you have a part number or link to a hardware kit that includes that nut, post it plz. i have extras of the self tap nuts that hold the upper passenger dash trim. they seem too big to try to use though. thanks for the info.
@@1hogman952 just typed in #callofgeorge on insta search and it brought it up. thanks. now to see if i can find those 2 pieces to purchase... hopefully npd has them. wonder if that nut is the same size as what's used on the upper dash trim. i didn't think it was, but might fit.
yup yup. thanks. hoping i don't run into any surprises when i go to drive it.. power steering reservoir was hot as hell after the short drive. has me kinda worried.. not sure if that's normal or not..
yup, mine had an LED in them that was probably supposed to be a "running/park light", but i used it for a turn in the past.. left a wire there for a running light in the future. should have ran a turn wire there too in case i get a bulb that supports it later.. these that i got fit perfect other than a snug fit in the bucket itself.. the backs are coated and make it where you have to press them in, but they have a pigtail wire to connect them so you have plenty of room on the back.
Boy, do I relate. My ´67 resists and fights me, every step of the way. Don't get me started on the "Close Enough" quality of some aftermarket parts. Granted, I'm glad those parts are in fact available. But sometimes the work that goes into getting them to fit properly, it's almost equal to repairing the original part.
i couldn't agree with you more.. i sometimes regret tossing parts instead of just trying to fix/patch them.. its ridiculous how much work you have to do to some of these parts.
Great build, I'd love to be where you are at, right now just eyeballing a candy red 69 coupe with rusted out floorboards that I'd like to restore. How do you feel about the seat belts? I was thinking about adding a rollbar and 4 point harness
yup, it's been a long road to get where I'm at now.. about 10yrs in the making.. granted, not constant work.. i would be real careful getting one that's got rusted floors. be real thorough in looking it over to know what you're getting into. if i had to do it all again, i think i'd do like Peterson Restorations and pretty much build a car or buy one he built.. getting a completed shell would save soooo much time. and if you don't know what you're doing, money too.. i realized the other day i actually put my belts in reversed.. latch goes on the tunnel side.. oops.. but i plan to cage the car. i already have 1 harness. got a great price on a schroth racing 4 point. i'll start work on that probably next year.. i need to pay debt down that i built up trying to rush the car to completion to make cruising the coast (big, week long classic car show/thing on the gulf coast) this year.
Looks great man! Build is coming along.
thanks man.
On the drivers door..you could use an spring loaded center punch from the inside to mark the hole.

Looking good, the right side a/c vent. That pin on top has a self-threading nut and a tapered cone washer to hold down.

@@callofgeorge just did instagram photo of my old vent. did #1967mustang and #callofgeorge. not sure if it will go to your account.

Can’t wait to see it bro

Funny you should mention the headlight depth...my bulbs are the same but I have LED turns in them. Looks like I’ll have the same issue. Dammit!
