how does this come out??

yellaopelgt · 06-14-2008

Cant seem to figure out how this floor panel is fastened down!!!! Any suggestions? I cant find any screws or bolts on it anywhere,and I dont want to wreck it.
And a few pics of my progress so far with the rest of the car.

the screws are hidden deep in the carpet round the edges of the board , you need to rub round with a finger to find the hollows then move the fibers to see the screws

Thanks Baz! Thats what I was thinking.... but my eye sight is soooo bad even WITH glasses. I can feel them, but thats about it.!

Baz is correct. Screw heads are a small/medium sized Phillips.

Engine compartment is looking great!

Your electric fan looks like a really nice installation in front of the radiator, do you know what it came out of or a part number to look up under if it is a replacment part?
Those screws come out a lot better if you blow the heads with compressed air before trying to twist them out. Not only are they hard to see but the heads get filled with trash and screwdriver is hard to get a good seat if it is a stubborn screw.

I don't know what the fan is that he has in place but mine mounts exactly the same, it is a Mr. Gasket 14" Reversible fan that I got from Jegs.

Is there a meet in Springfield IL this year? If so, when?

yellaopelgt · 06-15-2008

Not sure what model it came from but it is a Chrysler 2 wire fan. I did have to pull the blades off and flip them around though. I'll post the # later today....its got to come out again. The only bad part about this set-up is that I now have to re-locate the battery to the spare tire compartment! I also have an over-flow bottle in the nose so no room!!!! Time to get an Optima gel battery!

Vickie: trying to get everything set for Springfield this year!!!! We'll see......still have a mountain of wiring/relays to get through first.

BTW the fan and the overflow bottle cost me a whopping $25.00 at the boneyard(and I didnt even have to yank it out!!) He pulled it off the shelf and tested it for me right there! Bottle came from a Chysler mini van as well.
