69 Flip style. Lift the tab to open. You may have a twist style? In any event a bit of tinkering may be needed. Wise and mature to ask. FWIW a good time to compare your dash gas gauge reading to the actual amount needed to fill up. Brian

Once the chrome bumper is in place not much left to be seen. Brian

From the Shop Manual. I have found removing 1 or 2 of the 4 plastic push rivet legs makes the install much easier. Others may have some suggestions. Brian

A couple pics from the underside. 1st Above the marker light is the bumper side bracket shiny nut. 2nd connection to the headlight bucket. More? Brian

I put a point on my soldering iron just for this job. Going a bit anal I also put some blue tape on top of the carpet before drilling any holes. Makes it a bit easier to see where the hole is drilled and where to burn thru with the iron. Brian

From the 69 Shop Manual. 'Stabilizer'

My stock Right/Passnger side caliper. Brian

You may take a look at the headlight assembly as well. Some or all of the parts could go on before installing the fender. Brian

If your car had a console originally ? The original mounting screw locations can be viewed from the under the car in the tunnel. Careful to avoid the brake line. Take the seats out. Brian

The 'YouTube' video at 17:00 has a brief blurb about shocks. What I got out of the discussion was that hydraulic shocks are to be preferred over gas shocks. If so, that should limit the selection by quite a bit? Brian

Same problem. On the bright side it's not a bandwidth problem. Brian

Definitely not 9/16's. Smaller and more like 1/2'''. Picture is of the NPD 69 PUI beltline ends. Measured in the vertical position they do measure 9/16" from felt face to rubber backing? Brian

Interesting stuff and disappointing at the same time. I am going to guess the extruder/supplier is the same for all manufacturers/vendors? Thanks for the picture and explanation. Brian

My 69-door window beltline weatherstrips need replacing. I have never done the doors on a 69 so and I am hoping some of you guys, who have, can help out with some recent experiences? Looking at the replacement kits sold by NPD it seems there are 3 kits (4 pieces/2doors) available. One kit is made by Dales and sells for $234. I won't be getting that one. Repop and PUI have kits selling for $93 each. Repop has been around for a while and I have used their product before. Don't know anything about the PUI weatherstrip. The revues for both products are mixed. Any opinions? Thanks, Brian

From the 69 owner's booklet.

Picture of mine.

The door data plate has much of the info you seek. Brian

Has its pros and cons. Does what you expect. Not easy to remove. Brian

My car has both. Two at each window. Brian

Bakersfield had Buck Owens. What's Porterville got?

Thanks. I did take a look. The pedal support is a 70 and the clutch pedal is a 70. Can't see the date on the brake pedal but will guess it's a 70 as well? So, close, but not what I am looking for. Thanks again. Brian

Manual trans car? I'll take the power disc brake pedal. Brian

Thanks for the interest and tips. Would like to get a ' correct ' 69 pedal. Brian

Nice looking carb. Brian
