Reassembling jazebelle.

[bluefury361]

More baby steps......

The fun continues. the exterior is about complete now, just a few more pieces of trim to install.
WOM, rocker panel moldings are in place, fender and door trim installed and the "THREE HUNDRED" letters installed.

I'm still struggling with one, (left rear side) power window that won't operate as well as a sluggush passenger door window. Got to get past that before I can install the interior.

I drove her about 30 miles yesterday. It was the first time I had driven her over a mile since buying her, and the furthest she had been driven in over 15 years. Ran like a dream, drives great, everything works. Thanksgiving in Daytona is looking pretty good right now.:yaayy:

The recent article in Collectible Automobile mentioned how then-Chrysler President Lynn Townsend was critical of those "THREE HUNDRED" letters on the quarter panels because of the labor involved on the line to install them. I now understand why!

Should the radiator support be black or body colored. Lol.

It should be really bad if you don't have a quarter panel installed that already has the holes for the three hundred lettering. Great job. Don't forget to turn your dashboard clock an hour back for winter time.

 

[commando1]

Winter?????

 

[1978 NYB]

Winter?????

I'm thinking about Carlisle 2013......and 100+ degree days!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to locate a clock when I had the dash out and apart... no luck. But when driving a car like this.... Time dosen't matter anyways.

My wife's Mazda... I have to break out the Gee Dee manual every time she asks me to reset that $%#@-ing digital clock...

I KNOW that feeling, exactly!

 

[1978 NYB]

Easy as heck on my truck and NY'er. Gum mint Ford trucks....I need the manual and an engineer! LOL!!!!!!!!

 

[cm23uoc]

They didn't even put one in my 300 Hurst. Genuine leather, AC and a Cadillac sticker, but no hands or clockwork.

 

[commando1]

Show me another NYB with a "clock delete" and I'll buy you a steak dinner:

 

[1978 NYB]

Is that your car? I knew you were talking about eliminating dual clocks and fabricating an oil pressure gage.

 

[commando1]

Yes. Years ago I saw a NOS clock delete plate and I grabbed it. Didn't know if I ever would use it but I knew I had to have it as you'll never see another one. I'm like that. As it turned out, I put in when I installed the radio with the digital time display.
As we speak, I have the old "chronometer" on the bench now and examining it to see how to make it into a factory looking oil pressure gauge.
