Ther's a chrome bolt and washered nut on the front that holds the windwing assembly in the door.

Ack! There it is!
Knew there was something!
Thanks for keeping an eye out. 

Why didn't i see this last night? 

All of this stainless and chrome (and 16 pieces of aluminum not shown),
Got loaded up in a van with Buddy and his wife destined for D&R in LA this morning.

Guess we can pop those into the mail..

Anything else?

Coming down to the wire...!
Weeks of doing nothing then a deadline comes up!

Cigarette lighter...
Any way to take the knob off of that guy?
Soaking it in EvapoRust - hoping a secret trick shows itself.
The reason people get excited about a nice one of these is because they don't come apart, huh?

There's these bolts on the back of the doors,
Holding track parts in place.
Those are chrome.

Any other sneaky chrome bits a guy might miss?

Ah! There it is!
Knew there was some magic secret... 

Owe you a beer or three for sure Chuck.
Really came through for me in a pinch! 

That came from these manuals i have here?
Dug around forever to no avail.

Figured if there was ONE thing a manual would be good for..

Yep. Page 10-45 in the Chassis Manual.

Ah! Here i was thinking that was body stuff... 

Hit me with a rubber chicken and call me Sally!

Also... These rollers for the glass frames.

They actually are supposed to go around?
Like, as in spin/roll? 

The glass guy says that you drill the riveted-in center posts out,
Then new ones can be swedged in after the chrome is done.
He's also going to be polishing our date-code-matching set of green Soft-Ray,
And has excellent taste in art. 

These the same ones?
Maybe better to go to Ames, or..?

Steve,

There is a spring-loaded latch button on the left side of the switch. See attached.

Ack!

Buddy is driving to LA tomorrow and can drop off our chrome to D&R.

Under the gun to get it all ready -today-...

Anybody know how the headlight switch knob comes off?

Do i dare grab the stick and thread the knob off?
Pop open the switch body itself and get it from inside?

Ack!
Don't want to hurt the thing......! 
 

Anybody out there can help this poor fool?
Big thanks again as always gentlemen.
