Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
old school tricks...adjust doors at front out as much as possible and still be lined with rocker and windshield post ...window down..look at the "push" on door rubbers when u close the door ...U will usually see places tighter than others...especially above and below latch....pull off seal in that area and "softly rubber hammer" the pinch weld inward...doesn't take much to make a difference...this is where the push on rubbers are a savior....They are still going to be tight but should be able to get "closure"...some will tell U to move striker plate but that works only until door missaligns with cab...have fun buddy...wait till I show U the ring brothers handles and what i had to do to get the unlatch and unlock mechanics to work!!......jim

I put 3M anti-chaf tape on the hinges where paint is against paint to keep it front rubbing or scratching , you can see it in a couple of the pics where the door is on the stand

Incredible work Mike! It's going to be a shame to put the bed on now and hide all that work!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Your truck is looking very nice! I just had the same dilemma with door seals and had to readjust my doors too since I had no seal on my cab since February. And holly sponsors bat man! Great job on lining all those up! That's incredible!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
Looks fantastic! Also to add on the door seals...did you leave a slight gap at the miter where they meet? Supposed to allow air out....see if they are easier to shut with the windows open first....might be how tight they are.....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
That would be awesome if the cab was so air tight the air pressure wont allow your doors to shut, that one I would have to see for myself. Although with the level of craftmanship that has gone into this truck it wouldnt surprise me.
But wait I got jokes! It would be kinda freaky if you were driving down the road and all the sudden you got light headed, blurry vision and impared judgement from carbon dioxide build up from lack of a fresh air supply, you might need to build a c02 scrubber. ![]() |

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)
the wiring has taken alot of time, and this with using the best stuff ! It just gets really complicated when you need the Painless 18 circuit haness to talk to thePainless EFI harness to theDakota Digital dash harness to the DD Compass temp upgrade harness to the DD Gear position harness to the Spal fan harness to the Delta Hid harness to the Vintage air harness.....well you get the picture ! LOL ...#!^#%!@^%@%, if my friend John would have been there from day one...it would have taken alot less time !
