Re: 67 SWB First Build
I used 3M 08693 Auto Glass Urethane Windshield Adhesive, here is the link from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/3M-08693-Uret...window+sealant
Check with local mom and pop auto glass installers, because they buy in bulk, I talked to my glass guy, and basically about 1/3 of Amazon price. I used two tubes, one per side, I had the hood on and opening and closing nicely, didn't have motor or trans in, so, I got inside engine bay, started filling the channel up with adhesive, and let it partially cure. while it was still soft, I used several new razor blades to trim the excess off, and left it undisturbed for several days to fully cure. not a real good picture, but the black lines on the ribs are the trimmed sealer. hope this helps

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Definitely an outstanding build! I am just now getting to my frame. I can certainly relate to balancing family and working on the truck. I cannot wait to see what the final product looks like with the lights, engine, and interior installed. Your work is very motivational for me to get my truck finished!

I left the rust mort on for 24 hours. It's a liquid product. I put it in a spray bottle and went to town with it. I used it between the roof skins also. I think it's important to wipe it down real good/neutralize it if you plan on putting any coating over it. Otherwise it'll mess with the paint/body filler bonding. Also if you do use it, I recommend wearing gloves, glasses and a respirator. It's some pretty potent stuff. Does a real nice job though. |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
How are you handling your POR-15? Keeping it from drying up on you?
Progress is looking real good. Nice work on the door skin ![]()

Re: 67 SWB First Build
I put some Saran wrap between the lid and the can. Then I store it in a fridge in my shop. Not sure if that makes a difference, that's just what my dad does haha.

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Made some progress the last week or so.
Awhile back I started stripping my tailgate when I noticed it was bowed in the middle. At the time I said screw it, and started looking for a new one... But next thing you know I have it all cut apart and trying to fix it. I was able to hammer out a lot of dings with it split. Then l cleaned up the rust, got some rust mort on it, and Por15'd it. Will do a little more dolly work before I put it back together. Also was able to spray a coat of primer on the door I repaired. Hopefully get some more body filler going this week. There are a TON of spot welds in a tailgate Cut in half. Makes me realize that when I used rust mort before it was cut open, I hardly got any of it haha Por 15'd it. Looks a lot better than before. Door is looking solid too |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
Progress has been a tad slow. I switched gears a bit from the tailgate and back to the cab. I installed the new driver door on and worked on aligning it. Gaps looked good with the b-pillar, but no bueno on the rocker. I installed the rocker back when I thought I was going to use a re-pop door. At the time I sliced and fixed it so it fit that door better. Well with this original door, the gap isn't very even. I figure if I'm going through all this work that I need to do it right. So I hacked that rocker off and will be replacing it. Ordered a new rocker, should be here next week.
Also worked on sanding the glaze on the roof. Just needs a little touch-up at the front lip. Attached the fender on with the door. All gaps looked decent other than the rocker. Had an old re-pop replacement rocker but it didn't fit very well. I'm hoping the new one I get is a bit better quality and require less slicing and dicing. Decided to throw the passenger fender on too for kicks. Lined up decent. Glaze on the roof Lots of sanding. I think the drip-rail shave is starting to pan out. Had a slight crown as you can see by the metal spots but it smoothed out nice and shouldn't be noticable after the high-build is sprayed. Need to clean up the front lip a bit. |

Re: 67 SWB First Build
While waiting on my new rocker to show up, I continued with body filler and sanding. Worked on the firewall and inner cab mostly.
Roof is all done. Nice to have that big area wrapped up. This was the cab one year ago. Helps to look back and see the changes to keep motivation up. Finally calling the firewall done! A lot of time spent on the area. Going to get some seam sealer for the firewall channel in the next week or two. Body filler over the inner windshield patch. Will get some glaze on it this week and then call it good. Body filler on the majority of the back of the cab. It really sucks sanding inside the cab. Legs get real sore on the metal floor! |
