Photo 577 - Are of the drivers door and glass while cleaning. Simple ole glass cleaner, razor blade and a cotton towel.

Photo 578 - Glass after cleaning. Not perfect by any means but its not horrible. I might hit it with the da polisher later on but for now it will work.

Photo 579 - Photo of glass date code. CZ-10 - Nov 67. -10 is explained here on the CRG site. Click Here

Photo 580 - Door assembly after cleaning.

Photo 581 - 582 - Door with original paper reapplied. Note that the door handle mech sits on top of the bracket and the arm will be applied over top of the plastic. 2 small holes were still present in the plastic cover.

Photo 583 - With a little effort and choice words the door panel finally settled back in to its original resting spot. Panel still needs to see a good hot day outside but other than that the panels are in great shape.

Photos 584 - 585 - Decided to change things up a bit and while the column was out (still waiting on my lower bearing which hasn't shipped in over a week and still haven't got word from Groundup if the manufacturer has the dang thing..) it got me thinking about the tach placement. I could go the traditional route and place it on the column or copy the Yenko style and screw it to the face of the dash (wasn't doing that). Then I remembered this weird hole that was previously drilled in the lower center of the dash. I assume for a gauge or some sort of switch but it wasn't done at the factory. Then I saw the screw holding sec flasher and it hit me.

Photos 586 - 588 - Dash assembly after picking up having tools, screws and bolts scattered around.

Photos 589 - 590 - Door glass rolled up and door closed. Also made a video of the door closing.
