Didn't like the idea of hanging a ECU on the firewall( neither did the owner )

Spent this morning dis-assembling 1/4 window glass and trim.

The tinted glass had 71-74 trim on it,so I took all of the apart to transfer the 70 only trim that was on the clear glass but needs to be on the tinted glass going in the car.
70 is on the right and the later ones on the left

on a side note.
If your glass has scratches in them, don't bother with the Eastwood polishing kit. about all it's good for is removing haze

Lookin good Bill. If the AC compressor lines up correctly to use 2 belts as the original does...I'd use them. I've got Classic Air brackets on a small block, and it only uses one belt. It will squeel under load sometimes. Use 2 if you can.

Thanks fellas

JD,
I tried and would prefer 2 belts, BUT the pulley alignment makes that out of the question.It's one belt or nothing.

Coming along nicely!!

Great find as far as speakers!

I had no idea 1/4 trim was different in 70.

I love the location of the ECU!

Joe, as a far as I know Yes it applies to all E-bodies.

The vertical weatherstrip in this stainless steel moulding is unique to a 1970

Bill did you replace the rubber trim at the base of the quarter glass as well - I guess you might call it window channel? If so what did you use, thanks

Gavin,
If your talking about the strip thats keeps the glass in the lower aluminum lift plate ?
No , I just want to transfer the stainless trim from the leading edge to the tinted glass.

btw, 3M makes a 2 part adhesive to attach the glass to the lift plate as well as the stainless trim

you do nice work. attention to details makes or breaks a car. its alot of work and its nice when you have the parts already there, seems like your getting alot done in a short amount of time. good luck finishing it.
