Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster" (3 Viewers)

Hey, what did you do for the inside window dust seal on your door panels? Is there a trim piece you can buy or salvage off of the old panels? Your door panels look really clean!

I install a normal inner wiper seal, just install it to the door frame instead of the panel..

Stripped everything off of Goss' dash. I will tape, wrap and plastic cover everything tomorrow or Monday when I get some spare time. Scuff and prime and texture paint it.

Then onto making an AC bezel surround.

I have a "SPECIAL" steering wheel that will be put on once Goss is totally finished...It is under the bed for SAFE KEEPING.

What size boss do you plan on running between the momo and the column?
I wanna do something similar, and move the wheel closer to me, an inch or two.
But then, I won't reach the light and wiper toggles.
Maybe they can be bent a little.

The MOMO #7711 hub kit is what I bought with the wheel.

Love it! Does that have a horn button or are you going to run a remote horn?

That is the plan. Although most likely baby number 3 will be here by then so I will need to make sure that the princess is still ok with it. She gave me the green light already but with a newborn I need to be flexible. Let's keep in touch, if nothing else I will come out on Saturday for the festivities. It is such a blast.

Yep, has a horn button too.
