Bored and waiting for the sun to shine tomorrow so I can work on glass scratches, I decided to take out the back seat and see if there was anything interesting hiding there. 1 1965 quarter 1 1976 Canadian dime 1 6 in ruler 1 Little girls hair Barrett 3 factory seat tags 1 gas receipt for premium gas 2007
interesting find. I think a prospective buyer would want the 65 quarter with the title. Great detail.
Wow, $3.209/gallon 15 years ago. I paid less than that yesterday for premium at my local station. Neat to see the tear-off portion of the seat belt tags were under the back seat. I've only seen those on '72-up cars but they are usually gone. Only one of my '72s still had them attached to the seat belts and it didn't take much and they torn off (which is what the assembly line worker was supposed to do anyway). It's my understanding that the tear-off portion of the tag was a way to help the installer quickly get the right belts for the right model and seating position. After installation the little tear-off portion can be pulled off. I look forward to seeing this cool '73 in person.
Received and installed the period correct NOS splash guards on the rear that were missing. They are polished stainless and probably exactly what was on there from back when.
Yea I agree, but you could see where they were on there from before and all the extra screw holes, this solved it nicely I think.
Took the Survivor for an 11 mile cruise on a nice Sunny December Day to watch the game and Have Taco soup at my Sons house………Drives exactly as it should.
Thanks, thats the original not a repop which is way cool to me that he kept it. People love to look at them.
I thought you originally meant get new moldings & cringed a little when I saw the post & before the pics but they really do look good & look like they belong. Good call.
Update on the glass scratches, the 3M product never would harden, I tried sunlight light the directions said and also tried a UV light for hours, the resin never hardened the least little bit. Looked at reviews online of the product and all of them had the same results! Time to find a different product. Don’t buy this!
Alittle lithium grease on the window tracks, the old grease was hardened and made the window up/ down really stiff, much better now. It’s really nice and easy to take things apart that have never been messed with since the factory, screw holes aren’t messed up, clips aren’t missing or broken etc….
