Re: My 86 build

Got all the cleaning done, spray a little color & clear. I cut a slot in the bolt, that goes behind the dash, so once the bolt was started, I could tighten it from the outside with a screwdriver. Everything was going smoothly, and then it happened. I couldn’t quite get the bolt to start, so I tried to reach up in there with a socket, and I DROPPED IT!! Right down inside the jamb. Then I thought well while I’m trying to fish that out, I better take the bolt back out before I lose it. Well it went down into the abyss too!
Long story short, ended up taking out the bezel and air vent anyways. I could not find them with grabbers or a magnet. So I pull the grommet out, at the bottom of the jamb, in between the jamb & fender. I went to AutoZone to rent a scope. Once I could see where it was at, I was able to get both with the magnet. What a day!
