Been slowly plugging along with the interior pieces. Didn’t get much done in Jan due to moving my parents into an assisted living facility and the unexpected passing of my younger sister due to a traffic accident.
Anyway, finally got my parking brake assembly restored. Also just finished restoring the clutch and brake pedal assembly. Painted the bare metal parts with “Metal Mask” paint. Still need to get new pads for the clutch and brake pedal, and a clutch pedal bumper, but otherwise they’re done. The previous owner cut the clutch pedal safety switch wire and after some help from forum members today I found out what the switch is called and how much a new one is. Consequently, I’ll try and splice a new push pin connector onto it and see if it works before I spend almost $300 for a new one.
Additionally I removed and restored my VIN plate. Sanded out several deep scratches, re-painted and re-applied the Chrysler Logo and Pen Star with a transfer from ECS and then re-attached it to the dash pad with the factory correct rivets, also provided by ECS.
Blacked out the inside cowl area, restored my wiper pivots and arms and re-installed these.
Got my ACC carpet today and I’m pretty sure they sent me the wrong carpet. This carpet is split down the middle instead of having front, side to side, and rear side to side, sections.
Purchased some Butyl tape today along with windshield calking and hope to get the rear window installed this Sat along with the SS trim. I’ve been slowing sanding and polishing the rear window trim and I only have one piece left. Thank Heaven. Talk about tedious work.
