Re: Greg65 build thread
Just interjecting here... But, I'm pretty certain the urethan blobs are meant for cushioning between the inner and outer roof skins--It'll keep them from "oil canning" and will also provide a very light bit of support for both panels from the top and bottom. I assume it would provide some silencing quality from rain if the truck were ever in a downpour??? (kinda stretching here..)

I thought about using panel bond around the perimeter of the roof. The reason that I didn't is because of some unevenness that I will have to take care of when welding the skin on. I use urethane like hemifalcon mentioned below as sound control. The factory seems to have attempted that, I just wanted to improve on it. Panel bond probably could be used, but it gets rock hard and I feel it might cause problems. I could be completely wrong, but don't want to risk it. Quote:

Re: Greg65 build thread
Last Saturday while up at Alan's I picked up my cluster bezel that I got from Billy. I have been trying to decide which looks better with my cluster. The wife and kids like the powder coated one but I make up my mind between the two.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Tough call. I kinda like the contrast of the black one. Seems like the other combo has almost too much shine. Wonder what it would look like with those milled lines painted black on the cluster, if using the powdercoated bezel?

Re: Greg65 build thread
Roof is welded and ground. Need to grind the underside of the channel where I have some burn thru nuggets.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Roof looks nice.
I'm dreading when I stick mine back on. Seeing how you did yours gives me peace of mind. Thanks. |

Re: Greg65 build thread
Nice work Alan! Greg's baby is in good hands.
I liked the idea of the silicone blobs under the roof to support the panel. |

Re: Greg65 build thread
A little progress for the week. I bead blasted the floor vents and removed the old seals tonight. They are ready to be dropped off at the powder coaters hopefully next week along with a few more parts. Then I can install the new gaskets and reassemble the vent assemblies. Next in line is the vent windows.

Re: Greg65 build thread
No problem Phillip. I found a complete truck back home in Alabama just waiting for the owner to call me back. My fingers are crossed.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Greg, Saw this 60 Vette at Caffeine and Octane this morning with your fawn beige on it, seat color choice really made it come together . It was the prettiest 60's car and color there. Gonna look very nice on your truck.
There's 3 pics here but they don't really do the color justice. Attachment 1088391 Attachment 1088390 Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device
