I needed the retainer clip that holds the fog light lens in place, so today I made one. Just need to get a set of seals from 914Rubber. Looked like it was going to be easier than it turned out. Forming small parts is harder than larger ones.

I finished assembling the drivers door and mounted the interior face that I had made many years ago. Its leather and I should have stored it laying flat.
Hopefully the wrinkles will relax. I couldn't find all the square nuts that fit in the retainer clips for holding the passenger door handle on, so that one isn't on yet.


A heat gun will get rid of the wrinkles. Just use it carefully.

Just curious: What did it cost to have Line-X spray the underside?

I did the cabin with roll-on stuff on my last build, but there have been a LOT of advancements in the last 10 years in the DIY Bedliner market. If it's easier, I'd just have a company like Line-X spray the bottom and interior when I was all done with the body.

Rock-It Liner from SEM looks to be the "DIY" version of Line-X. 2-part system that I can spray on at home. That may be the better route, so I can control how much is applied and how thick it gets.

On the same note, what product did you use on the interior for sound deadening? That's up soon on my to-do list....

Mike: look on eBay for a roll of "fat mat". I picked up 3'x33' roll for $60. Nearly identical to the Dynamat I bought last time...for about 8X the price.

I also saw a few YouTube videos about this stuff. I'm half tempted to try it.

Billy; Glad to see you making progress again on this gem.. Go Billy go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I use Fat Mat here at my shop with fantastic and affordable results. A heat gun or even a hair drier is a must to get it properly bonded to the metal. The adhesive stick like crazy with a little heat when applied. If no heat is used, it could come loose on roof sections when it gets cold (not an issue with these cars. . .)

Made the down payment on the machine work for the engine today. Also placed the order for new pistons. Valves and a shit load of misc stuff. Not everything I'll need but a large percentage of it. I'd love to do the assembley, but after investing so much I to materials, I'm scared of screwing it up.

I don't use it on these cars on the roofs. I use it on steel roof cars.

Using heat is critical to getting sound mat to properly bond to a metal surface. It's this proper bond which enables the sound mat to dampen the vibrations in the metal body.

I can COMPLETELY appreciate that! After spending a ton of money...and seeing a pile of perfectly good pieces/parts...it's tough to NOT spend the extra "little more" to make sure it's done right.

I can't take any credit for this. It's the final mock up from Wiseco.

I got my message today that Webcam is shipping my cams, Jerry Woods is sending the modified distributor and new plug wired and my half shafts are clean and ready to go to the powder coater with the shift rod section that is exposed in the engine bay. I worked on my list of things to do/buy last night and I added more than I marked as done!
