Amazing work as always, subscribed.

And thread detour if you don't mind: what's the story on the stripped down tesla in your yard?

My landlord has a business called Conductive Classics, it was a donor for them.

Few things.

We decided to use all new hardware to build out the chassis. I only have outer axle hardware and few other odds and ends. So we had to order it all. While we wait for that we are back on the body.

Sure you already know but another place the old adhesive often fails is between the ribs and the roof above 2nd row.

So I think earlier in the thread I was saying we were going to spray the underside of the body with LineX. We have changed that to Lizard Skin, we will do the firewall in the engine bay along with the underside of the body.

Tracking shows we are supposed to have all our chassis hardware by the end of the day tomorrow.

What is the advantage of lizard skin?

 

[blobmasterer]

I’m curious how much these full restos usually cost

Very impressive work, big thanks for taking the time to picture and document!

I hear/read good things about the advantage of Lizard skin. Does lizard skin on the underside provide enough thermal/sound protection to eliminate the need for a Dynamat type barrier under the carpet or is the plan to do both types?

Dynamat already installed inside the Cruiser, it is going to be a quiet 80!

Transmission is back from @orangefj45 it got rebuilt and the Wholesale Auto valve body.
