This week I have been working on some odds and ends. In the top photos you will see my original heater vent tubes. The tubes were sliced open along the wire ribs and there were a few puncture holes too. I stretched the pieces close together, placed blue painters tape along the outside to hold it in place and then put a glob of black silicon on a stir stick and patched it from the inside. When the silicon was dry, I removed the painters tape and you will be hard pressed to tell where the duct was torn! The 1965 wiring diagram book is one of my latest finds at a recent swap meet. It has all ford production cars in 1965 and has been out of print since that time. I know there are other reproductions manuals out there, but I like how clear and large the print is on the diagrams and the cost was a mere twenty dollars! This will come in handy later on. The last photo is the underside of a radio speaker grille I picked up from my friend Paul. Thank you Paul! If you look close, you can pick out the new rubber bushings I found at the local hardware store. I am having a lot of fun working out all the details and restoring these original pieces in preparation for the assembly!
