zerow Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 All right 610ers - Riddle me this: Are the transmission mounts the same for both the standard and the automatic? I figure I already know the answer (yes), but I am just trying to cover all my bases... Quote Link to comment

compression Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just have him edit the picture again in photoshop and add one :rofl: havent you ever seen the Dukes of Hazzard? Yeah, I didnt do a super good job deleting the door seams... Isnt photoshop fun? Had to break up all this boring trans crossmember talk.... :D Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 So I took the door cards off of my 76 to grease the wiper tracks, and I noticed that on the plastic trim that surrounds the door handle, the plastic is cracked. It looks like it rides pretty tight against the pivot of the handle. I'm sure you guys have dealt with this, but how? I epoxied the crack to keep it from getting worse, but I'm not too crazy about how it looks... it's shiny in that one spot, and it's textured everywhere else. Anyone come up with any good ideas to keep the pressure off my already cracked plastic? I'd considered grinding the handle down on the pivot, but I'm not sure if I wanna weaken it. Also, as far as the clear plastic clip that holds trim in place on the upper part of the arm rest(the top/front screw goes through it), mine's missing that. Does anyone know if it was common to any other vehicles, or is available somewhere? Thanks Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the plastic i super glued mine back together :P still in one piece and no one can tell the armrest part you mean the stupid little black cover that covers the top most screw? if so your not going to find one i have never seen another one like it and mine all broke :( im gonna make somthing for it eventually Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I still have the little black pieces, but the clear clip that goes on the back, kinda looks like an "A" is what I'm missing. It has a hole in the center of it, and that's what the black piece clips onto. I epoxied the cracked piece, and didn't like how it looked, so I used acetone to take the epoxy off.. well.. ... it removed the epoxy, but also began to dissolve the black plastic. It looks textured now, but it's not as cool as it was with just the crack in it. Why can't I just leave "well-enough" alone.. :( Quote Link to comment

Here are a couple pics of the plastic clip I was talking about. The front screw(of 3) of the armrest goes through it. Quote Link to comment
