If this build was a TV show it would be in season 9 by now.
and light years better than watching some jester dance around an engine stand

No kidding....I was ecstatic....I should have them in my hands next week....Nice to get that stuff.
that's what I'm talkin' about!
I've worked on my family's genealogy & was able to connect with a family relative thru Ancestry.com who was also working on his side of his family's genealogy. He told me some stores that I didn't know & vise versa.
Only the rear has a sewn edge....the other pieces are just the trimmed carpet edges....That is how they were originally....That interior is really looking sharp! Do they make the console carpet pieces with the sewn edges or did you have it done?
And I really like that you are finding out about the history of where the car came from. Fascinating to say the least.
Hi Great job on your restoration. I'm doing a 69 rr and am having a hard time removing the rear side quarter glass frame and regulator as you have pictured above. should they be removed together as one unit or separated? to separate it looks like the clip on the roller has to come apart. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

X2How did you go about finding the names of the previous owners? I'd like to do that also.
I was fortunate to have a window sticker that labeled the dealer and address. I also had a previous owner receipt for service with a name and location....How did you go about finding the names of the previous owners? I'd like to do that also.
thanks Justin , I did manage to get the regulator out last night from looking at your pictures. Thanks again for the helpDean
Thanks for the compliments my friend!
The frame and regulator goes in and out as one unit....The pics above show the area on the car where I accomplish this.....Line them up as you see inside the quarter(you may have to crank the regulator a little) The first end to come out is the window crank end and goes in the reverse of that(First pic attached in your quote a post above)...The other was is frame end out first, thats the easiest for removal but when the parts are restored that route is the easiest to scratch the window parts due to filling things around inside the quarter area....
The clip below is what holds the regulator arm to the frame along with two half bushings. Very rarely are these bushings bad but it is worth while to inspect and grease up again. I only do that when it is out of the car.View attachment 505691
This is how it came out prior to restoration. Easy for removal but not for installing the restored parts...
