What's up everyone 

Hope everyone is doing well. I'll get some pictures out in a little bit. Got new tires, replaced the weather stripping for the trunk. New spark plugs and wires. Gonna change the oil this weekend. 

My next chore is the weather striping for the doors and windows, but the descriptions at rockauto are a little vague. 

Under

Door Seal / Weatherstrip

There are ones that say left or right hardtop, some that say sedan, and others that say with frame. I'm thinking frame means metal all around the glass, like if you put the window down there still a frame. Am I correct? If I put my front and back windows down, there's no frame. But there is chrome trim around the top and sides  of the glass. 

Anyone replaced this stuff before. Door trim looks screwed to the door, and I don't know where the clips are or should be. 

The pictures look so bad with the flash

Thanks for any help

Man that's awesome Jeremy! Justa a piece of friendly advice from somebody who's trying to restore the same steering wheel as you have. Be careful bro of how much pressure your steering wheel lock puts on that clear part of the steering wheel. At the age of our cars those tend to be pretty fragile and their fairly hard to come by to replace. There's a fella up around NY that supposedly has the original equipment to rebuild them, he quoted me $1500. Thats crazy. Kiwi and Fitzy can add to that as they have both replaced or repaired their steering wheels. Again, awesome score bro!

As for the steering wheel, it's not as bad as I thought. There are some chucks missing, but most of it is still there. My thoughts were either to make some silicone molds and wood frames to fill the missing pieces, or take a cast of the pieces that are solid and then create the whole section of the wheel from several pieces to pour it from uv resistant acrylic or resin... what do you think? The other option is a nice looking walnut aftermarket steering wheel and maybe add some steel rivets for accents. 

Good evening everyone, 

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry for the long time between posts. Life's crazy right now. Got a picture and a question for you. Is this a factory original filter?  I've never seen one like it. 

Yea, the steering wheel is crumbling already. 😞

Good morning, 

Here's some more pictures for you. I'll get some of the engine when I get a chance. Short back story is I'd been trying to get this car for two years, and finally did
