Pablo,

Couldn't you make those gaskets using the 3D printer like the glove box handles?

 

[xtiaan2000]

Oooo. Anybody out there have a 3d printer.

 

[xtiaan2000]

I have a complete one that I would donate to the cause.

Pablo,

I think you would want a softer material than that?

 

[xtiaan2000]

It seems pretty hard. Its more like a Teflon material

 

[PabloCruise]

Oh shoot, we are talking about the door handle plunger gasket/ring. I was thinking this is where we were talking about the tailgate handle gasket.

Yes, I can check on 3D printing of these.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Sorry to wonder again.

 

[PabloCruise]

No worries! Let's try and get them made!

 

[xtiaan2000]

let me know if I can help!

 

[PabloCruise]

I'll need the original you were offering. Want to send it with payment for glove box handle? Wrap it up well...

 

[xtiaan2000]

I'll get it out tomorrow. PM your address. SWEET! We come to the age of the 3D printers! What's next- Driverless cruisers?!

 

[PabloCruise]

I sent you a PM earlier RE glovebox handles - did you get it?

 

[xtiaan2000]

Tailgate handle with new rubber and lock with new Honda rubber (74815-SK8-000) thanks to PabloCruise. Used a dremel with a sanding wheel to take back some of the lock hole and the used it on the inside of the Honda rubber. Then with a little Vaseline got it to fit! Bummed how easily the black came off. I'll have to get some touch up paint.

 

[PabloCruise]

Nice!

 

[scrapdaddy]

That did turn out nice! I'll have to try that. Are you painting all the chrome? backup lights, reflectors, etc.

 

[xtiaan2000]

The only chorme that I have now is around the raingutters and the front grill. I am pretty sure they will stay chromed for now. It's funny.
These cars are the gifts that keep giving. I can't imagine what I'll do when someday I say "it's all done".

 

[xtiaan2000]

Sweet! Got the rear hinges back. They look killer and tomorw I will get to feel them out. Gonna try to get the body side of the latches done. Too funny, got some time pop up and am now Tuesday am heading out to climb in Zion. Looks like this project just keeps telescoping out. There's no way I'm gonna pass on the an adventure! We're gonna do Prodigal Sun and Lunar Ecstacy.

Got an immediate cruiser stoke - Just put on the new glovebox handle from PabloCruise. Yo I'm big pimpn now! It looks great!

Glad I could help your Cruiser mojo!

Next we'll get those door handle plunger gaskets worked up.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Just got all the cab side of the door latches all welded out. While I was measuring it was great closing the door sooooo easily. I can't wait to get this done!
Grind down the welds
Sandblast the door jams
Paint the rear doors and bondo/paint door jams
Hang the doors
Assemble the doors
Do up the linkages
CRUSHING- That doesn't seem like that much more to get done.....right?!
