Nice work. Did you end up buying new springs? What did you go with?
Looking great.
Where did you find those metal fuel lines for the frame rail? Had them made?
I was reminded of the CA Glue option while watching a 40channel episode.
It does work amazingly well!
Been a fair amount about the weatherstrip glue issues, good you found a solution that works. I’ve not had any issues with the 3M stuff, but one thing only I can see that’s different in my setups is I’m applying to old, original paint (mostly), or deglossed new paint. So I wonder if this is a paint/finish compatibility thing. Great work on this build!
Yep, I used both 3M 8008 and 8011 both were not even close to reasonable results. HA! My paint does still have a tiny bit of gloss to it. Don't let the outside of the rig fool you, the "restoration shop" only painted the outside and only some of the outside at that... all of the surfaces I glued to were very much either original paint or 20 year old respray.. hard to tell.I used City Racer’s too. There’s been a number of posts wrt issues with some of the 3M glues, but CR’s pretty specific about which one should be used with his weatherstrip. And that’s what I used, can’t remember offhand what it is but it’s posted on his website. I just wonder if there’s also issues with high gloss finishes, none of my rigs have high glossand the weatherstrip has stuck well.
