Playing around a little today at the pull a part. Not looking for anything really specific. Was looking at Explorers for some serp stuff. Looking for some older cars for potential interesting side marker lights. Found a Jaguar that has a really cool fuel filler cap I might go back for. I found a 1970 F-250 that had an interesting shifter handle for the floor shifter. I did pick that up for possible use with my NV3550. So as I walked around, I see an old Mercedes ( 1971 280 ) that has some pretty cool chrome trim side marker lights. All 4 are there and in tact. So as I look at this car I notice several things. Really nice bucket seats in almost mint condition. Then I notice the vent windows. They have integrated handles that slide forward to open them. I pulled back the door panels to get a look at the mechanism. It is really an interesting little device. Opens and closes the vents. You can push the window further open if you want. They are spring loaded to lock tight. So, ok, yes, I am going to see if I can integrate these into my doors. The vent windows have a rod that goes down into the mechanism and then lock into place with a set screw. You go to the pull-a-part just to look around, and find stuff calling to you to take them home and make stuff. Damn you PAP.........Any thoughts, suggestions, etc are welcome.
