I basically just pushed the seal on, no tension, when I got to the end I had about 6” inches left that I cut off. I let it sit for about a week also thinking the compression of the door would fix it. It didn't. I finally pulled the seal off and then put it back on with a little tension. When I got it glued back in place I had another 4-6” of slack.

I think it's got to be put on somewhat tight, just not sure how tight.

I know that's not a lot of info but hope it helps.

Great progress!!

Thanks Don, I adjusted on my Rt door some and got it closing better. I think it will be fine. Just have too do the Lt door when I get motivated again. I had alot of motivation this morning.

I just had the Metzler rear tire on my bike grow a bubble the size of a hand ball. It happened in Palm Springs, and had to have the bike towed home. There goes some of my parts money too.
Thanks Dennis, that sucks about your tire.

Thanks Greg for buying the inner fenders, and no I wasn't kidding that I would put you to work. LOL Super Chevy is next weekend in Commerce GA. I was hoping to make it up there with a little cash. Hopefully 198plus will buy the bed tomorrow.

Happy B-day Alan. Hey on the door seal my friend at the body shop said that he will put the seal on first, adjust the doors to fit then removes it and paints. That way when he puts it back on there's no problems with the doors closing.

Hind sight is always 20/20. I thought about doing that and that was as far as it got. The right door is shutting good now.

Thanks Dave, I was wondering where you've been hiding

There won't be a whole lot going on with my truck for a while. I might work on it here and there, but I got a side job lined up. Here is a LINK to it.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Nice to see you're getting some work. In no time you'll be starting you're other truck. Found a 58 here on cl for 300. No title no engine no trans. I don't know how hard it would be to get a title, I might go look at it tomorrow.

Good question...I go through a lot of those!! I would like to know too.

Alan, the extra work was probably a birthday present from a higher authority. I like to use that term. Got to use it once at work. I had a persimmon tree blow down on our campus during a storm. It was the only one we had. I got a nasty letter some time later from a Biology professor demanding to know why we removed it while he was off for the summer, and that he used it in his classroom teachings. I proudly told him it was removed by a higher authority!

I get my grinding disc's and cut off wheels from here. They have great prices, and a better product than Harbor Freight. Check them out.

This is what I use to dress my welds down. I use the 1991 to level and the 1406 or 1407 to smooth.

Nice link to some affordable abrasives. I might check into it someday.

Since I couldn't work on 198's I welded my hood tonight. It got too late to grind. I've got a little over 2 hrs so far. I still need to grind and clean up and touch up spots that I missed.

Tried to clean out the joint the best I could.



Tack welded about every 3/8"-1/2".



Connected the dots on every other space



As it is now. It's hard to make a pretty weld when you jump around so much. All will be ground smooth.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Those welds don't count if you know you will be grinding them down anyway. Can't wait to start doing that to mine.

From Left to right

PN 1987 is a thin cut off wheel for a die grinder (need an arbor to attach)
PN 1407 is 36 grit 3" roloc also available in 2"
PN 1406 is 50 grit 3" roloc also available in 2"

I'll try to post another pic tonight of some stuff I use.
