Anyone have a good way of cleaning all the crud on the inner fenders? looks like a few decades worth of rubber and dirt... Maybe soak it in a solvent before scraping?

No real magic bullet that I know of. Scraper (as pictured) , wire brush (if not oily), scraper+brake Kleen (if oily), razor scraper. If it's undercoating, hopefully its old and brittle. Good luck and keep zen thoughts during the process

i've found the 'dremel' vibrating tool to be wonderful on scraping 'stuff'.

Fog lights?

I believe these go to the Reverse light switch on the transmission. There will be a 2 wire harness from the transmission that meets up with this.

Yup, reverse light harness.

Thanks! That makes sense. I have been scratching my head on this one for a week.

You can tell it is a 69 from the photos. The hood latch has the safety catch - that was introduced sometime in the 69 model year. The aircleaner does not have the nipples for the overflow vents which was a 70 model year thing. That means that (unless the aircleaner was changed) this has to be a 69. Elementary my dear Watson!

Any tips to get this little guy on? Brake light switch stopper. Can't get it all the way in to get past the ridge . Iâ€™ve heard freezing works, also boiling... itâ€™s really frustrating me

Put a little lube on it, get it started and pull it thru with some needle nose pliers.

Di-electric silicone grease works great..extra slippery and helps to preserve the rubber. FWIW Pat
