This is the flush mounted handle by James Hoffman. Looks great, this pic does not do it justice. I will be touching up the chipped paint around the handle so it looks good from 20' away. Everything will come off for a paint job.

Damaged roller on the driver side. I had first greased it up and installed it into the track and realized that was a complete bone-head thing to do, since I had replacement rollers available.

Everyone needs this tool if doing any work on the doors. The factory rivets are 1/4", so the usual rivet guns cannot be used. I bought this for ~$20 from Harbor Freight and picked up an extra package of 1/4" rivets. Made it a piece of cake.

My spare set. The fabric on one just crumbled off. The second peeled off without difficulty.

Final result, with the one on the right being an original window guide from my 85 TA that is being replaced with the redone units.

How it shipped. Comes from Taiwan, I was expecting the filler neck to be better protected. However, there was zero damage upon unboxing.

Filler neck right where I wanted it. Ideally, would be maybe a 0.25" to the right, but not something I'm going to sweat about.

Rear end cradle. Was very proud of the hole I drilled into the top that would support the tube. It ended up being just a shade too small, so when I had it on the hoist for paint, I cut the holes into a shallow V-shape. Worked much better.

Picture of it in action after removing the rear from the car. To ease transportation, I got it hoisted onto a regular furniture dolly purchased years ago from Harbor Freight.

Some strategically placed sockets on the base and inside the LCAs helped keep everything in shape while pressing out the bushings.

Better picture of the sockets on the inside. For installation, I rented the Ball Joint tool from OReillys. It had the right-sized cup to fit on the outer, metal edge of the bushing.
