1972 Build thread.

When I picked up my project it was a bit of a basket case. Looks like I picked up two wiper motors... but they are a little different. Anyone know why?

I am starting to go through all of my mess and figuring out what will be thrown away and what will be refurbished.

Another question. Anyone replace these rivets?
And does anyone have a good recommendation for a pop rivet gun?

Why replace? Just curious - tight examples not hard to find. I had a set replated for use on my current build and they turned out great.

I was planning on having mine plated as well. Can I have them plated without being taken apart? Your thoughts?

I need a pop rivet gun for some heater control & box restoration. The rivets on my heater control assembly are broken, so I figured that I would just buy the resto kit for the controls and do it this winter. I already have the interior box torn down, sending to the powder coater soon.
I'm also planning to pick up an exterior box at the next Portland swap meet. The previous owner at some point cut the original in half with a sawzall. Lol... (sad face)

Plus I need to replace the kick panel vent rubber. Yay!
