little progress on the Belvedere

[dartforforty]

Finally got around to changing the filter and seal on the trans.
Found a set of re-chromed hinge covers on E-Bay. And updated my interior courtesy lights. The old lights were early 64.
I may even get to cruise this year.

Hey Dart,

Looking good. How did you get those newer style courtesy lights attached? I also had the earlier style and I now have the newer ones to replace them. But so far I haven't found anything behind the headliner that the screw holes will line up with.

I had to change the metal bulb holders in the sail panel. I bought a pair of interior lights off E-Bay, seller said they were from a 68 Chrysler. Re-pro lenses and bezels were said to fit 64 up A-Body also an E-Bay purchase.
Bulb holders have 2 screws that hold them to the sail panel. 2 screws hold the new bezels to the holder, old lenses snapped into the bulb holder

Thanks, Ed. Yeah, that's what I'm finding - that the trim rings don't line up with the earlier style bulb holders. Too bad those original early ones aren't repopped. They're unique and have more style than the later ones. Thanks for the ebay tip - I'll look into that.

I saved the old lens and socket holders just in case I ever find lens. I like to keep the car as original as possible. But I also like to keep it clean looking and with cracked and crumbling lens they look nasty.
The ones on E-Bay say they are 64-5 B-Body
