Matt, would you say it's a door hanging problem that could be fixed or beyond fixing?
No Jack, the doors closed perfectly, were aligned horizontally perfectly to the body, no non-uniform gaps were noted running down the door seams. As far as I could tell, the top of the quarter glass lined up with the passenger/driver glass.
I was wondering if he had the wrong seals on the roof, :confused04:; - I know 73's better than 68's and with mine, there is a little adjustment you can make for the seals, but his were way off, you could see the inside of the car between the roof seal and window top. yet it seemed his roof frame line was level too.
I would have to take out his rear quarter panels and see what was going on with the rear quarter. I know he worked on the driver side, he said a specialized rivet at a bend point was missing which is what make it jam - could be. He said when the rivets were available, he got 7 of them but lost them in a move to his current place. I would think you could get another rivet, but he was adament you could not... there should be a work around. I also wanted to dig more into how his top was anchored, but it's not my car. The top could not compress completely when folded back - enought to put on the cover, he said if you had it outside and warmed up, the hood could be compressed more... maybe.
He did have the horse hair in the top, could hear it during the folding. I wish I could have taken things apart, that would have given me more info.
As I told Karen, if it does not sell at his reserve, she can contact him to get the things fixed, then do another check to make sure all is ok, then it would be worth buying
Of course on the way home and later, you always think, well, maybe I should have looked at it this way, or that...
