I rebuilt the internal mechanisms for the LH door glass and LH quarter window, installed a new vent window channel as the Old one was destroyed. The glass was banging around getting scratches over the years. I used a bolt in style roller to replace the busted large roller. Jesser's classic keys rebuilt my lock cylinders and they also made keys stamped to match which is cool because the key codes are original to the sales documentation. I adjusted the door and it no longer needs to be slammed shut. A gentle push and it catches. This is with original door hinges so I'm happy.
I installed the water shields and didn't forget to tuck them in at the bottom. After that I installed the door panel with the handle springs in between the panel and mechanism. Door panel, handles, handle washers, arm rest are all original gm. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the original cluster assembly. A little over 97K original miles.
I swapped the black housing to a better condition spare original gm one I had on the shelf. I also swapped the circuit board as the original was fried. I installed all new bulbs and can't wait to see it lit up. Last edited by jbtech; 07-24-2023 at 12:12 PM.

Original GM dash switches installed. I sorted through a box, weeding out any damaged bezels or repop parts. The lighter is NOS. The ignition switch is the original coded "born with" rebuilt assembly. I used the specialized tools to reinstall without damage.

Gauges are in.
In 67 the low fuel lamp socket needs to be installed below the circuit board as the fuel module sends a positive signal. I believe a previous owner didn't realize this and fried the board. This also explains the fried wire coming from the original console harness.

I cleaned, replaced grease fittings where needed, greased and installed tie rods, and idler arm. The original spare tie rods I used were in great shape.
