Straight traded this morn for the Mullet Special...(said with love)
1977 Deville, one owner, working AC, 71000miles, everything works including the Goofy lights on the rear outside pillar's.
paint is faded, but no rust anywhere. Vinyl roof really nice with no cracks etc.
needs a carb, not a big deal as i should have a rebuildable Qjet somewhere. small exhaut leak at the cat, its getting turfed for glasspacks and bellflowers anyways.
Then the usual "in the weeds treatment" . Might try my hand at shaving the handles and locks and using poppers, then lose the side moldings. Then will go with flat babyblue plasti dip.
Yah, I havent bothered to register the thing yet lol, so that help keep it around.... not sure about paint or plasti dip just yet, may shave the handles, ditch the body moldings and rock the "under construction" look for next season. Again, I will dig it, and real hard to sell with no paint on it lol. Looking for something funky to do with the headliner, my buddy Rob ownes a glass place that happens to do upholstery as well so he will do something goofy for me dirt cheap. Maybe zebra print or something lol.
First and foremost I need to figure out door poppers, do I need a remote? Can I just hide a button somewhere for the 2 front doors. I'm cheap as hell but not real creative so I do want a cheap kit of some sort. Filling the holes in the door doesn't concern me at all, but actually installing the sht to make them open does.
Any suggestion or ideas would be great.
I've got poppers on the Edsel, batteries are constantly dying and there probably not heavy duty enough for my doors. In other words I've had lots of problems so I just leave the vent windows unlocked but I guess that's not an option for you. You could always splice into your power windows and hide a weatherproof switch somewhere.

i Never thought of that actually, one weatherproof switch on each fromt door hidden in a wheel well would work. Should install and emergency pull somewhere i assume.
I'm sure you know that the reason for the manual release is in case your battery dies or a less likely blown fuse. If your battery is dead you got bigger problems therefore I'd just run a cable from the hood release so I could get to my battery.
