Gettin' Ready for Kenosha

["Gary Stewart" <g.w.stewart@xxxx>]

Hey Gang,

Spent time today removing my door panels, the ones I cut out years ago for
speakers. Got 2 good used ones. Have all the new weather stripping for
both doors. Ran into a problem with the front adjusting bolt for the window
It was sheared off....always wondered what was rattling down there in the
door. I have a couple of donor doors that gave me a replacement. Gave me a
chance to hone my window removal and repalcement skills before actually
attacking the ones on my best Gremmie. Had to drill an extra hole in the
door to get the replacement adjusting screw in. NO rattle now!!!

The top of the door where I rest my arm is pitted and a bit rusty. Sanded
it all down and ready for primer and a fresh coat or two of black paint. 
Then I'll put in all the new weather stripping, followed by the glass.

My final task will be removing the instrument cluster to replace all of the
dash lights. My thinking is some of them still working have been since 1975
DO NOT want to do this job again. I always hav a devil of a time getting
the speedometer cable reattached. Any helpful hints? My booster for my
Radio Shack Radio is attached to the shelf below the dash...gotta get that
out of the way too!

Hoping I have time to remove and paint the valve cover and the air cleaner
can. Like Jerry says...so much to do, so little time when it comes to
Gremmies. Glad I only have one to take care of.

I'll be staying at the Quality Suites Hotel on 122nd Ave. I'm a member of
AMO and will be in the show on Saturday. Who else is going? How will we
get together? Anyone on the list a local in Kenosha? Gettin' ready, won't
be long now.

PS I'm arriving on Wednesday and stayin' 'til Sunday AM.
