Things that piss me off.. fonts. Incorrect label length.. etc.
If you're going to reproduce something take 20 more minutes and get it right.
Rear arm rest ashtrays cleaned up nicely in Evaporust
On to door handles, locks and linkages.
How not to fight that gasket spinning around during install.
Good to go.
Mixed up some JB for between the door skin and handle reinforcing plates.
Ready to slap in place with one hand while trying to install the handle mechanism with the other.
Done and done. Lightly snugged until the JB sets up.
We have a handle. Next was key lock tumbler and all internal linkages. Repeat for the drivers side door..

Door glass rear edge channel guides ready to go into doors.
Taped the paint.
Regulator ready to go into place loosely.
Just set in place until door glass assembly goes in.
Working up the nerve to work this into place.
Turn to get the vent frame lower fork in first, then the front mounting fork. Glass needs to be lowered a bit so the anti rattle wedge can get below the one in the rear channel and then carefully work the assembly into place without chipping paint. Then regulator unbolted and worked forward so you can get the roller into the window lift track, then reinstall so you can crank the window up and down.
Window up full to get things squared up and carefully close the door to check. Snug.. loosen..adjust... snug.
Glass upstop going into place.
Plastic in hole, then tighten screw to spread the tabs. Then crank the window back up to top and tighten rear channel bolts up.
Down stop adjuster. Needs to be backed off so the window goes lower than static position so that you can install catwhiskers.

Full access to slots for the catwhisker tabs.
Catwhiskers. Outer, inner and the little gap filler rub.
Tabs going into slots. Get them all started and carefully work them in, or you'll bend the strip.
Little gap filler rub you'll find missing on many cars.
Whiskers and rub in place.
Ready to bring the glass back up flush and then lock the down stop adjuster.
Door end seal.
Seal installed.
On to door glass number two.
Getting good at this...

Adjusted the rear channel guide to give a nice tight fit of the door glass to the quarter glass.

Very nicely detailed instructions.
I couldn't agree more. There are billions of fonts available and easy text editing software to allow exact reproductions to be made fairly easily and quickly.
...and yet we get substandard crap! WHY???

Handle reinforcements.. Did you make them? Or is someone selling them? Is there also a mirror reinforcement?

Megaparts has them.. as do others I'm sure.
Door Handle Reinforcement Plate 1967-76 A-body 1968-70 B-body, Door Handles/Reinforcement Plates, 199-DR001S Reproduction, NOS and Used Mopar Muscle Car Parts
I believe there are mirror reinforcements, I had the guys weld washers in below the mounting holes on mine while she was blown apart.

Thank You Sir!! You didn't need to look it up... Knowing they exist means I don't have to build them.... And I would have tracked them down... But you've made it easy.. So thanks!!!
Nice work Wayne....coming together nicely now.

Two of them. A 4500 in house garage and a 6000 in the hangar. Can't be bothered until I know the fridge needs it. That and never too old for candle lite chesterfield rugby!
Today's gonna be another story, out since 3am. Wife just went to get GD1 and no estimate when we get power back. Out at Daughter's as well..

Cord seal around perimeter and above areas that get penetrated.
Tacked two layers of plastic down to my famous TV box and then pattern. Cut out vapor barrier for both doors with an xacto knife.
Drivers vapour barrier stuck in place, tucked into the bottom slot and taped with Black paper tape just like factory.
Vapour taped at bottom.
Same deal on passenger side..
Barrier in place
Door car trim given another quick run through the buffer wheels.
Stainless trim in place with 4 × #8 screws
Dug through old spares to find a good retainer clip for every hole.
Both door cards in place. Arm rests, cranks and door pulls tomorrow. Hopefully kick panels and new door sills also to complete the interior.
