I recall seeing a thread somewhere, but can’t find it after a search indicating that a certain Ford rocker panel clip will fit in 1970 GTX or sport satellite rocker molding. Does anybody recall this and if so, what Ford clip was that? thanks MF

What Where When: cars if any came out of the dealers with hood pins? Any? Were the dealers putting any on? I assume why they were put on was for race application hood security under stress conditions. Anything else? What do you think of street cars having them? They certainly have a look of...

Hey guys, I’m about to install my hood essentially for the first time since the hinges were removed and are now back in. I don’t have any initial markings to indicate where the hood should start. Any inputs/hints/tricks on how to initialize hinges such that I don’t bind on first closure prior...

Ok so after installing new window hardware in my restoration I found that my rear quarter window glass was not adjusting to the center point at maximum adjustment. The glass was canted in about 1/4” off. Using the FSM I tried all the adjustments but could not quite get there. This was on both...

I installed my roof rail seal and it went ok. However I would like to see a picture of the front piece and how it’s glued in and trimmed, if trimmed. I noticed this is a large interference fit causing door alignment issues as it not trimmed of in place with glue yet. This>>>

The rear corner trim piece appears to be attached with two rail screw/nut hardware which is a bit flimsy to me. After looking at the end of the trim attach I noticed two holes. Was wondering if there is some type of clip that was used there to secure that end piece? If not what are those holes...

Hey guys, I have a gap in my trim and I believe it must have been there before I did my body as I don’t think I did anything to this area. It’s at the rear window bottom corner lower part of the drip rail/gutter (see pictures). Not a good place for a gap! I don’t have any pictures of this before...

Does anyone know where I can find part of the Stainless Drip Rail Molding trim in what I am calling the Joiner Piece for the passenger side? It covers and joins the teo longer pieces. I cannot find mine after 4 years of being stored in boxes. Must have fallen out. It’s for my 1970 Satellite...

looks like an inspection cover/access but I don’t know for sure. Is there a cover for this? Do they sell them? Does anybody have a picture of one so I can fab one up? It’s on my 70 Satellite…front passenger wheel well. Thanks MF

So I installed my rear quarter glass a few months ago and am still trying to figure out if I did something wrong on the installation. The issue: The glass on both sides are canted on inwards quite a bit as seen by the photo. I can push them out but I can tell it’s just not right. I did try...

After way too much work of trying to get my door windows in, I am stuck. I have ideas to solve but they are not great. The problem: the new mylar inserts appear to jam in the wing channel or are very tight. Thus the windows jam up or are very tight. What Ive done: I wire brushed the channel...

Of course my lens will no longer snap in as the plastic tangs are long gone. How do you guys suggest I attach them. Currently using 3M double sided tape. Just not sure about longevity.

Working with old beat up cars is fun! So are 50 year old collision fixes. I’ve made modifications to my front bumper bracket to give me more adjustment range in and that worked fine. However I need to laterally adjust the bumper to the left (driver side) (see picture for reference) about an...

I’ve noticed a very large spread for pricing on windshield gaskets like $100-$450. Is there really a difference? If so what? Are there that many mfgrs making them or is there gouging or what? Recommendations as to what and where to buy from would be helpful. Yes I’ve read the other posts on...

Can anyone show me how the factory painted the inner lower plastic grill? Some pictures looks like the inner lip is silver and the vents behind the lip is black? Thanks ps mine here is all black.

Have searched and read and even posted on some existing threads here but needed to start another unfortunately. What specific urethane is used and where specifically is it applied? Sealant or adhesive? Flexibility? Application: 1970 Belvedere Sport Satellite Thanks. More questions will follow.

Do you guys have a way to determine a Chrome piece of trim vs a polished Stainless? Are there general part delineations of what was typically used where? Asking because the polishing methods are very different. Thanks MF

Wasn’t able to delete this

I am wondering if I am nuts because I can’t yell if I am effing up the chrome on my buffer or it if the imperfections were there all along. I think I am causing it. Below is a shot of the handle. You can see an area on the left that’s scratched up. I don’t think it was there before. Also a...

I am interested in putting a new glass mirror my driver side remote mirror on my 1970 Sport Satellite. Can someone point me to a thread on how to remove the glass and replace it? Who sells just the glass for these? Thank you MF
