The plunger switches control several items, interior overhead or foot/under dash lights, door ajar light on dash, key buzzer, alarm (if equip). Just to help confuse you a bit, they operate on the ground side! |

Painting took almost a year. Then I started reassembly. That took three more years because scope creep. I did all the work myself. I ****ed up the paint in a few areas. I rebuilt and restored the cluster, dash, entire interior, added factory side pipes, the biggest Micky Thompsons that would fit, sold my original Torque Thrusts and bought new ones with different offset (made money on that), new taillights, LEDs EVERYWHERE, etc., etc., Now the paint has a crack on the rear. **** me. I haven’t even driven it yet. Plus I have a 1/4” of runout on the right rear. It will need trailing arms. $$$ can’t drive it because it’s so bad the brake locks up. The car runs, looks, sounds amazing. But I’ve been too sick and broke to get it back on the road. I’m hoping to tackle the rear end while the temps are down. I’m sick over the paint job. I’ve never had a nice paint job. This one is beautiful but between my clumsy ass and the adhesion crack (the new paint adhered really well but there was some areas we just scuffed (the car was stripped to the bare fiberglass during its first resto and never had any adhesion issues.) and the theory is the paint under let loose. I’m over it. I will drive it with the cracks and scrapes. At my age it will be the last build I do. I can’t do it again so it will have to do. It kills me to see the car just sitting in the garage now for six years. I hope this is the year I get it back on the road. Your saga is very much like mine. I had zero skills, zero tools but I did all the work. Everything on the car is new and or upgraded. I rebuilt the doors completely - new felt, stainless, handles, everything. I wanted the factory side exhaust for years. I even found some door panels on eBay I refurbished and dyed. (I could not afford repops so I made my own but hated them. Now they look stock). |

They found the trim plate!
What is the correct rivet to put this thing back on the car? This is the plate that goes on the drivers side door jamb. |
