Hi Folks-
I’m tearing my 68 coupe down for media blasting, and then the rest of prep for paint, and I’m running into some problems – hopefully someone here can give me some pointers:
1) How do I remove the wire/bulb from the socket/lens whatever on the front turn lights and the parking lights. And I apologize if those aren’t the correct names for the parts or lights. I’ve got them both out and dangling from the wires, but I’m unable to twist or just yank the wire/bulb out. And the bulk of the light won’t go back through the hole of course, so now they are just dangling there waiting for someone to help.
2) The backup lights way down low in back – I have no idea how to get them out, I can’t even get them to dangle. Getting my head up and behind, I see 2 regular screwdriver heads that look like they might be holding the light in place but there is no way to get a screwdriver anywhere near them. What gives?
3) Is the norm to leave your windows in the doors for painting? Dropped down I can remove the weather-stripping but I can’t figure out how to get the window out of the door even if I did want to pull it..
4) Ditto for the quarter-windows - ?
Thanks for any help!
