Thanks for the lead, it was indeed a good option. I say WAS because they dont exchange them anymore due to the EPA making it very expensive for plating shops to produce finished product.
Last Saturday I began to reassemble the vent window assemblies. Instead of having the originals replated (which was cost prohibitive courtesy of the EPA) I purchased repro vent window frames made out-of-country. Also choose the concours-quality rubber seal kit as well.

A Mustanger buddy gave me these parts when he cleaned up his garage. Im keeping the mini starter and the late model alternator. The old style alternator is available to any one who needs it (you pay for the ride). I had all tested at a local alternator shop and they all work so you will get a new 42A unit.

Today, media stripped and primered original grill, primered and sanded new rear package tray, R & R original grill opening trim, install grill trim, install two more rivets on pass side vent frame (after making a very small spacer to allow the rivet gun to work properly).

Two weeks ago I found an OUTSTANDING buy on a pair of the best aluminum SBF heads Ive seen in a LOOOOONG time so even though I wasn't quite ready to make the buy I couldn't pass them up. Got'em for at LEAST $400 under MSRP and I am one happy Mustanger !!! They arrived last Monday so I had to wait a week to inspect them. These are some SEXY heads !!Attachments

Today, continued installation of pass side glass and roll-up mechanism (what a three ring circus) all that remains is to adjust the wind wing and door glass for proper fit and operation , cleaned/inspected the rocker trim, installed the rocker trim.

My buddy Tom Mc laid some fresh chassis black paint on my Monte Carlo bar and my grill and some Palomino stain on my rear package tray. I test fit the grill, inserted the driver side door glass into the door, installed the driver door catch and rear glass guide. Began installing window felts (started with rear quarter windows).

Yesterday I assembled the driver side wind wing assy. Now there is a working latch for the wind wing for the first time since Ive owned the Colt. AND all new weather stripping. Had to re-bed the glass into a repro glass frame because the latch has always been broken.
Attachments
Today I installed the modified driver door actuator rod. This is because for some reason the repro door latch is not exactly like he original and the rod would not allow the door handle button to operate properly. After shortening the rod and adding a threaded coupler everything works like it should. Also, continued to adjust the pass door glass, wind wing glass and rear quarter glass. Almost got it. Then on to the driver side.

You may want to think about putting a jam nut on to keep the union from adjusting during use.

Tack it. There is no need to ever adjust it once set to the right length.
Thanks for your ideas, men. Would you accept my idea of using lock-tite as viable?
