Dan,
I plan to use the dark gray out door carpet that Home depot or Lowe's for my head liner. I seen it in a buddies 40 and it looked nice and it helped with noise echo. It's cheap to that's the best part.

Good luck with it. It's looking better and better every day.

That's what I have in mine. People as if it is a factory replacement. It fits perfectly and has not drooped or created bubbles. I used professional carpet glue while I had the cap off the hardtop and did it with the inside facing up. Let it set up for a day with weight on it so it would dry evenly. Works like a champ.

If it wasn't for moisture and rust issues, I would carpet my floor boards too with that stuff.

My friend used to build heavy equipment cabs and could get a headliner insulating material that looked similar and was available in 1/4 to 1 inch thicknesses. I don't know where you'd source it though and it wouldn't be worth it if you had to buy a huge qty.

The little things are taking the longest.

Blower Motor works great!

What happened to the 70 series turn signals?

 

[D'Animal]

I won them at a Raffle and when I went to install them I found one had all the mounting tabs broke off and superglued back on and had broke again.

They were made in Taiwan, not Japan.

 

[freds40]

That sucks.

 

[D'Animal]

Reality has set in.

Looking at your springs you only have 2 leafs is that going to be enough after you load up the tool box and a full tank of fuel or are you going to add another leaf or two.

I'm 3/4 loaded for the ACT 2010 and the rear springs need some help.

You can see air between the leaves and the bumpstop is 1" from the spring plate.


New 4 Leaf springs are laying next to the rig ready to be installed.

What is your wheel base.
When will you be crossing the border what crossing are you using will you be stopping in the Vancouver area I would like to have a closer look at your Cruiser

 

[D'Animal]

Wheel base is 122"

My plan is to spend the night at an old friends house in Roberts Point it looks pretty close to Vancouver.

 

[Dieseler]

Cool thats a 20 minute run down the highway from me I hope I get to see it when you are up this way,I think there will be a few locals that would like to check it out.

 

[D'Animal]

New FiberGlass Roof is done!
