S,

I have a couple of yards of the black heavy vinyl. Or I hope to place another carpet order in the next month. I can get the molded vinyl and molded carpet for the piggies.

Thanks a lot J, I'll prolly do the bulk route due to the odd floorpan and I hope to get in on some grey in the upcoming order. I'll get my order placed soon!

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Got a bit more out of the way

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Gunna need to fix up the wiper regulator before it goes back in. Finish chipping out the old seam sealer and reseal. Gunna paint the heater housing, pedal bucket and pedals, replace any bushings and paint underside of cowl and back side of dash. Gunna clean up the harness some more and paint the dash face and then return focus to the floor.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

What do you guys recommend for getting the rust in the seams?

And should I prime paint the joints before reapplying the sealer?

I'm thinking soda blaster for the nooks and crannies behind the dash. it's just surface rust...

What should I do about the inside of the a pillars?

 

[scrapdaddy]

All spots on the body and frame that I couldn't reach, I used this....Eastwood Internal Frame Coating 14oz Aerosol

I did have my body on the rotisserie and kept rotating it so everything got coated. Worked good.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

I've just started rereading your thread from page 1. I figured I ought to go back to school...

 

[scrapdaddy]

A lot of things in there I'd like to have a redo on or build another one and get it right.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

HA! that's what keeps us going...you got it right in more than enough areas a guy could take a few lessons from it.

 

[scrapdaddy]

Thanks man!

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Stopped for a new bib and goggles and saw this guy...

Scrubbed the bejeebys out of the back side of the dash in prep of reseal, paint, and wiper re-install

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Cut the seat risers....

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

Some new policies...

Wiper pivot housings... epoxied plates top and bottom to the flange, gunna jb weld the plates together and stuff em with superlube. Thanks for the
tip @scrapdaddy

Got this hook and loop woven wire loom wrap around. Surprisingly cheap vs the crappy plastic stuff...

Got to get some rust converter, inner chassis coating for the Apes a can or two of paint and some seam sealer and the dash will be ready for a looong haul. Prolly have to pull the windshield this summer to clean up the lip and I still have to do the new seat risers, but hoping to have it ready for long term service in the next couple weeks. Really wishin I'd taken the effort before, but there were a lot if thing playing into that decision. ahhh the spices of life
