Re: PO has me PO'd

Didn't realize it was directorial until I sat back and looked at

Not sure if I should glue in or not

If you blow up pis you can see there is a rounded nub on the right side and squared off on the left

By cutting down pickup weatherstrip, will you omit the molded end at the top of the rear door?

The finished edge also seals better to the hardtop.

Jess, I could claim 20/20 hind sight or I could play my old age card but this was just an example of not knowing

Shouldn't have thrown my original doors out 20 some years ago

For now I'm just going to glue it in

Don't know if an OEM Weatherstrip will fit an aftermarket door

Re: PO has me PO'd

Close call, could have burnt my workshop and house down

My wife works me up from my nap saying she smelled smoke

Opened the basement door and it was black with smoke

Ran thru the basement into my workshop and saw fire, ran past 2 fire extinguishers on my way, the actual fire was contained on a carpet that was laying on the floor right under the charger, carpet was made of woven plastic, and you know what burning plastic smells like, still in my nostrils

Oh crap

I was in the shop a couple hours ago and the last thing I do is charge my head lamp, so its ready for the next day, done it hundreds of times

So far damage is contained to the tire, which was on fire, harness inside engine bay, and paint

My wife and I laid in our own bed last night thanking God.

Could have been so much worse

We survived a " LIFE CHANGING MOMENT"

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks guys for checking in, really bummed at myself for letting this happen, but this is part of a build you don't consider

Ok, got my enthusiasm back

Spent a long weekend upstate NY, visiting my sons family

Recently fell off my DRZ, so my son took the dirt bike off of me, He found a Honda pilot for me four wheels much safer, and a hoot to drive

He has 2 tracks on his property 1 a road course dirt and the other with jumps for dirt bikes

Great fun slinging the pilot around the dirt

Back in the shop installed my rear window support now I have to get the window in, we'll see how that goes

Yeah, but it was modified, somehow

It was a blast to drive, not insane but controllable

Re: PO has me PO'd

I would buy a Fl400r Pilot or Fl350 Odyssey if I found one around me I could afford. I bought a CBR1000rr motor to build my own, but never got around to it.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Revisited wind windows

Bottom channel slid on with ease, liberal amounts of Windex

Holding between legs, and pulling with both hands, rear hand keeping pressure up to engage channel when you get this operation done, it will slide extremely easily, reapllications of windex is mandatory

The tool i used is a new panel separater, used to help guide the rubber gasket, CAREFUL this could cut rubber so polish end of tool

Revisited video several times

Now I have to get the vertical
