continuing on with my cap: placed the seam sealer (3m self leveling). it was a bit of a learning curve in that it comes out clear and against the gray primer makes it extremely difficult to judge the level of the sealer in the gutter. needless to say, it got a bit too deep where I started on the back section but not so bad that i need to remove it. overall, it really works nice and is easy to apply once you buy the gun. one other note: one tube got me about 3/4 around the cap before i ran out. even considering i filled heavy on the back section, i don't think one tube would be enough to get a good fill unless your rivets are very flush and your able to do a very shallow, uniform bead.

What’s the part number on that 3M self leveling?
 
Hot Off the Press! Just got this back from a local T-shirt guy during my lunch break, I think it turned out pretty good! It's a CCOT Bestop tire cover, but the design was a little tricky. I've seen this logo out on the internet, but it is usually the version that has been altered to say Specter OffRoad Genuine Parts. I've only seen the original logo one time here on MUD; the original says LandCruiser Toyota Genuine Parts. So armed with nothing but Google Translate and Word, I set-out to recreate this. It'll do for my ride :) . After inserting the picture I see that my ghetto temporary weatherstripping stands out like a sore thumb, just don't judge! :rofl:

Removed the cheapo flimsy support brackets that I had previously installed as support for rear jumps seat bumpers. At the suggestion of Mark Algazy from Mark's Off Road, I installed much beefier 3" x 3" x 5/16" thick angle iron that should support most anyone who could possibly fit in that small space. Thank you Mark for calling me out on the crapy Home Depot brackets.

They are still running into sheet metal that is spot welded. Just saying.
 
Installed front lap/shoulder harness seat belts. It was a little tricky because our 1970 was not set up for that. The upper portion secured nicely to the roll bar. The bottom retractor mechanism mounted to one of the roll bar base plate bolts. (No seat belt bracket welded to our roll bar). Passenger side was more difficult because of the fuel tank and filler tube.

while i had the body upended for undercoating, i decided it would be an ideal time to paint under the dash. got a little heavy in spots but there is good coverage everywhere. painting in those tight corners/ crevices is a talent i've yet to develop - have no idea how they do it upside down
