Builds My 1978 Nut and Bolt Frame Off Restoration (1 Viewer)

[mtman86]

Can someone chime in here a second?

I know it's not OE, but when I start assembling body panels, I'd like to cut some thin pieces of rubber to place in between panels that are sandwiched together (bib, fenders, aprons, hinges, etc.) to keep things from rubbing together and subsequently rubbing off paint, finishes, etc.

The PO had done it on my 1968 I used to own, and I always liked it. Anyone know of a good material to use? I was thinking heavy mil rubber that you'd find in a shower pan liner, but I thought that may be a little too thick.

I just starting reading your thread, so this info maybe too late. This seller at Ebay sells different precut rubber pcs for the various parts of the body. You might check his store. kenootski | eBay

Installed these cadmium plated clips for the lower dash pad.

Loosely fitted the floormat.

I now have a windshield assembly! New glass and weatherstrip too.

New grommet and new rear view mirror assembly.

New upper dash pad. Installed lower dash pads too.

Installed door strikers.

Also installed windshield assembly gasket and ran the wiring harness, along with wiper fluid hose. That's a new OE grommet too.

A very awesome testament to dedication! You know, it's one thing to have the money- Another to have the know how; But what I'm seeing here I can't put words to. You actually GET STUFF DONE, and rapidly at that! All with a little one and everything. How buddy, how? A+++

No idea.

I do most of my work between 4:00-6:30a.m. and 9:30 p.m. and after.

I'm sorry I've forgotten - but you're obviously painting yourself. Did you build a DIY paint "booth"?

 

[MScruiser]

I did.

I was several pages back.

Made of PVC pipe and plastic sheeting.

I've been painting small parts in the garage, with the door cracked, and a fan going.

Does anyone have some carb linkage they'd be willing to sell me? (Or know where I can find them?)

I basically need everything pictured.

I have a spare carb that might get you what you need I'll shoot some pics tomorrow. Jon
