Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10257 Location: So. Cal | I was able to find an NOS tissue dispenser No. 1692600 for a decent price and picked it up. I figure that it would go well with this Belvedere, being from the '56 model year. But I won't mount it until we're actually using the car to prevent it from sitting outside needlessly. I included a photo of the instructions for reference.

Pretty cool. Back in 2020 when you first got the car you said: "PT: 680 (Briar Rose body, Jet Black roof/Sport tone)" I wonder why the black bits got painted white and when?  | ||

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10257 Location: So. Cal | I think someone just wanted a more powder puff pink car with white, rather than black at some point. But I'm going to put it back to original eventually. The cheap spray cans that I used to color match my repairs to the rear window area have fully oxidized, along with the rest of the original paint. So now it's really impossible to tell that there was ever a repair done in that area.

Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 10257 Location: So. Cal | I purchased a '66 B-body rear from John Fowlie a couple years ago. I decided to take it apart an prepare it to go into this car along with a push-button 727 to replace the powerflite with a dead 2nd gear. I was surprised to find that the 3.23 gears & differential gears were quite rusty, but I didn't find evidence of any water inside the axle. I suppose that the gear was cleaned and installed, and then not run before it sat outside in a humid area for many years. Anyway, the gears are likely junk. No matter, I have a great set of 2.76 gears I want to put into it instead. I hope the axle bearings are stlll good. They *seem* to be OK, but I'll find out once I start to run around in it. At least I will clean, inspect and grease them very well before I button it up.
