Re: 1969 Chevy CST/10 comes home [Long-term project "OrangeCrush"]

Work done this weekend:

1. stripped the inner door panels off
2. took out the passenger side lock mechanism, it was jammed.
3. sprayed bug killer in the door due to loads of ants living in the door
4. fixed the passenger lock mechanism
5. put it back in
6. cleaned the drivers side one
7. plugged holes in fire wall to stop some of the water from getting in.
8. took off the glove box door, the hinge didn’t movie
9. hammered the dash back into shape where the door hinge had bent it
10. fixed the hinge put it all together.
11. installed NEW LOCKS on both doors
12. locked the doors (whoohoo)

The doors didn’t lock before, and didn’t have working key locks. So now you cant steal my 3-second sound system. The old amp that powers it turns on for 3 seconds, dies, turns on for 3, and dies...

Also are planning door panels and a custom grille.

The last owner did some crap job on wiring. Not the guy I bought it from, but the one before him. Wired the fuel pump to a switch under the dash, but not to say, a oil pressure switch. Also the sony tape deck thats in and amp is wire and twist nut land. Thats all going. We might try to fit a sub/enclosure from an escalade in the passenger cab corner, and some new door speakers.

We going to make custom door panels, just planing out materials and what design right now.
A few other things were thought out, and might do a few junk yard treks for head lights and such.
