Well more progress after dinner. First the rear filler panel was installed. Then the license plate bracket and plate was installed, and finally the bumper. Electrical reconnected as needed.
The I decided to move on to replacing the rear window that was cracked from a BB shot at some point before the car came in my possession.
Figured this was good time to do it since the door panels are off the car, and I already have a set of original replacement rear windows with the lower channels already attached.
So first you remove the bottom window stop. This will allow the window roll down further that normal and make it easier to reach where the regulator attaches to the lower window channel.
You can reach behind with cotter-pin removal tool and remove the horse-shoe spin, and washers. Then you can pull the regulator arm toward you and slip the pin of out the channel.
The top/side door channel (opposite of the vent window) then is pulled out and up. If it wont come out of the inside of the door, a little pb blaster may be needed were it clips in the door. There is a hidden tab at the top right where the channel enter the door cavity, and another one at the very bottom of the channel. I had to use a short flat bladed screwdriver to get the lower clip to release, and then I was able to put the channel up and out past the glass.
Next the window is lowered as far as it will go by hand past the regulator, and the then you need to rotate it toward the vent window. Once rotated 90 degrees, you can then slip in up and out of the window opening. The installation is the reverse.
