Purple SUNROOF Car - Pretty much done !
« on: October 20, 2016 - 07:00:25 PM »
After sitting painted for two months, I though I'd better get started....
Brought this in the shop Tuesday afternoon (after moving the red one out) :pullinghair:

With Tim's help today got a pretty good jump on things already....

Nice! How hard was it figuring out the sunroof install and adjustment on the red car? At least it's still fresh in your memory for this one.

Alan,

One thing I have learned in the short time I've been on this site is that your builds are incredible. I look forward to following this one as well....hopefully I can pick up some tips along the way.

Still working on getting it to close 100%....it's like the 46 year old motor, doesn't like the new vinyl top, new seals etc... :pullinghair:

I've never had to tackle one but figured as much. I will say that with great effort comes great rewards!!!

Hi Alan, you may get some good advice (if you need it) at the forums here:

http://www.mercurycougar.net/

The sunroof in the Challengers were the same ones that ASC put in the Cougars back then, but there were a heck of a lot more installed in Cougars. I have a 68 Hertz XR7G that has one, though mine hasn't moved since the mid-70s. 

Luvin' the updates,
Chris
