Lots of time consuming stuff that doesn't make too big of a difference..All the side glass installed, new power top motor/hoses/cylinders installed bleed and working great...highly recommended  :twothumbsup:

Very nice  :twothumbsup: Can you please tell what numbers are on the rear seat belt bolts. I know the reference material here says 1970 All Rear (+ front shoulder) are C11. My car has 2 C11's and 2 C13's.

I don't have the original bolts, I got all the seat belts including the bolts from Bill Edwards....This car wasn't the best example of originality when I got it  :haha:

While not up to todays art of restoration, it truly amazes me how auto makers at the time could use raw materials with design and tools to make these beautiful machines!  Unfortunate that the laborers were not well paid at the time, but who was!

For the time they were pretty well paid with very good benefits...

Yup: They just didn't care is all. They needed a good wage to pay for the booze and dope they used on the line.

NOS top motor, rebuilt original or something else?

I have 2 date coded originals for my car and I'm trying to decide if it's really worth it to restore them for a clone car. Tough to beat $230.00 for one that looks exactly like an original.

The last convertible I did....I sold the original motor/hoses/cylinders to a guy for $500 CDN  :o ....and they were leaking....Original parts have a value for sure, but I would never bother using them. These replacements are pretty dead on and work effortlessly.

I'm sure @ErikR will sell his original stuff if anybody's interested although one of his hoses is cracked and leaking as well. :dunno:

My upholstery guy prefers to install the convertible roofs at his shop so he can take his time, so off it goes...

P.S. The front end is cranked down tight on the trailer that's why it looks so low  :alan2cents:
