NOTE Scheduling revisions prevented the incorporation of service procedure references pertaining to the "Z-67" body style in this service manual. Due to basic similarity in design, service procedures specified in this manual for the "Z-37" style can be utilized when servicing the "Z-67" style, with a few exceptions. For basic service procedures concerning the "Z-67" rear quarter window mechanism, folding top adjustment, folding top stay pad dimensions or folding top electric actuator, refer to the 1966 Fisher Body Service Manual. The Folding Top Trim Assembly operations are the same as for other series convertibles in Section 13 of this 1967 manual.

The transfers are serviced in pre-cut panels. REMOVAL Remove the moldings from the affected panel see Molding Section 17. The transfer film may then be removed by lifting an edge and peeling the material from the painted urface. Exercise care so as not to damage the paint. NOTE: Application of heat to the transfer and the panel by means of a heat gun or heat lamp will aid in the removal. INSTALLATION Preparation of the surface to which the transfer will be applied is very important. In cases where body metal repair has been made, it is necessary to prime and color coat these areas to blend with the undamaged surface. Apply the transfer film to color coated panels only, never to bare metal or primer. The surface must be free of any imper fections that may high-light through the film. Re move dirt nibs and other foreign material in the paint by light sanding with 600 grit sandpaper. The temperature of the body must be maintained at a moderate level between approximately 65 and 90 degrees. Too warm a body will cause the wood grain film to stick prematurely while too cool a body will reduce the adhesion of the wood grain film. Cool the body panel with cool water when too warm and heat the body panel with a heat gun or a heat lamp when too cold. Just prior to application of the transfer film clean the painted surface with a non-petroleum base volatile cleaner and allow to The following are the recommended steps for easy application of the film. 1. Cut the paper backing the entire width of the transfer at the approximate centerline of the film exercising care not to damage the transfer film. 2. Peel the paper backing from one half of the film. 3. Align the upper edge of the half of the film with the paper backing to the lower edge of the pierced molding holes making sure that the transfer is centered on the panel. 4. Starting at the center of the transfer and using a water dampened rag, press that half of the transfer with the backing removed on to the panel. Work outboard from the middle to the edges. Remove all air bubbles. NOTE: The transfer can be pulled back from the panel and reinstalled if large air pockets develop. Exercise care not to stretch the ma terial. Small air bubbles may be removed by piercing the film at the bubble with a pin and pressing the bubble down. 5. Remove the backing from the other half of the transfer. Apply this half in the same manner working from the center to the end and from the middle to the upper and lower edges. 6. Fold the transfer over the door or quarter edges and press to the hemming flanges. Ap plication of heat with a heat lamp or heat gun will aid in folding the transfer over the edge. NOTE: If the transfer film will not adhere to the flange, brush a clear vinyl adhesive to the back edge of the film and reapply. dry. 7. Reinstall the moldings.
