I like the fc7 without the wheel well trim. Looks good in that color.
only stickers that were factory,.. were the bee's in the lower rear corner of qtr windows on an A66....my car also has 340 hood stickers [not on yet though]One of those window stickers should be there shouldn't it? A66 and all. Scat Pack sticker.
yes they will stay.... all are vintage originals..Are you going to leave the stickers on the quarter glass? How long have they been there?
I had the exact-same gauge issue on my '69 Valiant. It's caused by a sticky voltage limiter. On my car it actually burned an entire trace off the circuit board as well as killing both gauges. I strongly second the suggestion of a solid state unit from RTE. It was considerably less expensive than buying another two NOS gauges. I drew the line at a repro circuit board, though. I soldered a jumper wire in lieu of the trace. One can only spend so much on a car with no performance heritage and hence no resale value.gas gauge didn't rise when i added more fuel....temp gauge didn't work.. pulled cluster and tested gauges they are dead..wow
never seen 2 gauges dead like that before... had a spare cluster tested the gauges in it and they work...so my gauges all work now....
A66 cars had no wheel trim as you know... i prefer it also on FC7 ..I like the fc7 without the wheel well trim. Looks good in that color.
Super resto job, car is beautiful,,I know about the years go by thing, lol, you have it on the home stretch now, if you werent so far away, I'd let you do my glass, I got new hardware kits from Classic and somehow,, i dont remeber ALL that coming out years ago,,hope it cools off so you can complete it.tried to work on it more today..got hot too quick 93 in seattle now..
NIIIICE !75% done with it..only took me 35 years.... bought from orig owner... all's matching..had center trunk pan and dutchman panel rust was it.. mostly NOS trim, lenses etc.. put a battery in it today and it didn't catch fire!
hope to start it tomorrow [really sick of pushing it around all these years] ... should be a fun one..
