You just combine a set of 68 door side to 67 body side hinges.

There are a few other give always that it is a 67 like the lack of asto ventilation in the dash and door jambs. You can also tell it is an early production run 67 because it has the original telephone stamping in the door jamb.

I think I have tried that, but did not work since the 67 is a cast hinge and the 68 is stamped steel.

The car is actually a 67. The customer decided he didn't want vent windows so we put 68 doors on it. All of the other distinctions between the 2 years have been changed to something custom (except the wiper hole).

The front drive is from Wegner. It comes with the black alternator and a/c compressor. Very nice components!

Weld, I'm thinking your 40 P/U should have some yellow calipers! HAHA!!

It's your fault they're not! Was't on the option sheet.... : > )



Love the car... as usual it's 100% top notch RS work.

Insane build

Are there any pics of the finished interior yet?

Can you post a picture of the door latch mechanism and explain how you make it all work?

I'm thinking what looked off to some (Greg!) about the yellow calipers was actually the chrome or polished hoops on the mock up wheels. Car looks killer ...and thanks for the photos!
