Bunch of small things came together yesterday.
Seam sealer mate Martin had ordered off eBay for me, arrived. Bulk buys work out cheaper.
To be used once all the welding is done.
Supposed to be good and not crack, the stuff on th C10 has cracked.
Then some underbody sealer.
And once all is done, every cavity, doors, tailgate and bed sides are all getting a load of this stuff too.
That should keep my head happy on a 40year old.
It won’t stop rust, or any existing stuff, but hopefully slow it all down.
For the wood panels and carpeting on the sides, spray glue which is said to be easier to work with than brush on, on larger surfaces.
While in the garage last night, I also sanded down and trimmed back the ply side panels.
Next job is to trim the top and bottoms by 5-10mm to get an easy fit in order to screw them down on the mounting plates and top edge, after which I will precut the red carpet and prep it for glue.
I plan on glueing over the screws once placed, but to leave it unglued around the screws with just tension keeping the carpet flat there.that way I can access the screws but not see them once mounted.
I have always disliked the open headed flat chrome screws in hotorod door panels etc.
I think I have a dinner date tonight, so may not get around to getting anything done.
But always optimistic I can find an hour or so to go play.
