Wow! When you are done you will have something to be proud of. Just like I was.
You and Annie have hit it out of the park, again. You only have one way of doing them though.

Here we have restored the kick panels, vents, seals and plating. I had to replace one kick panel (not pictured) due to it being an tooth sharpening board for a vermin but the other one was in good shape and cleaned up well so I just replaced the one side. Very labor intensive but the only way to do it right. Most "restoration" shops clean these up but do not rebuild them. Much like the rest of their "restorations".

Here is the restoration of the wiper transmission arm. For the 1st ever I sent a batch of wiper motors to Steve Hackel as I cannot do them in house for anywhere close to what he charges and was very happy with the results.

I hope some will learn from your thread on what the word restoration is supposed to imply. As in all the attention and time that must go into all the sub components you have shown here in great detail.
This is the best build thread I have ever followed, thanks for sharing with us Rick and Annie

Now I see why your restorations turn out so well.....you have 3 hands!

When I first saw your photos on FB of Mark's 70Z I knew I had to step up my own restoration project, especially the interior items. You do it right for sure and thanks for sharing your techniques.
My wiper transmission arms I struggled with whether to drill the rivets but decided to do it the same way you did after spending time looking for the correct rivets and coming up empty.

For many years now the first response I give to a potential customer that walks in the shop wanting an estimate to "restore" their car is, "define restoration". I would not be exaggerating if 98% of the people honestly have no clue what a real restoration consists of or what it takes in both time and money to get there.

Nice component restoration Rick. The wiper motor is like fine jewelry and the kick panels look factory fresh.

Where do you source the tubular rivets for the cowl vent doors?

Thanks.

Phil
