Re: Tami's 51 build
Looks good Skip..On my 48, I had a V-butt windshield and they used clear silicone. I remember they taped the edges of the seam, filled it and wiped it and when they were done removed the tape. It left a clean line.
The black looks good though. Marc

Re: Tami's 51 build
To do it right, the wiring can take for ever to complete. I'm glad I went with less electronic gizmos on this build. My 48 was dumb. From the power cowl vent to the door poppers that also rolled down the windows by remote.

Re: Tami's 51 build
Nice job on the custom headliner. I just did my firewall pad out of ABS and went through the same stuff you went through. I fought with mine because I used too small a heat gun (1300 watts). Your job was far trickier than mine as you were working overhead and you were forming compound curves.
Awesome work! |

Re: Tami's 51 build
Ha ha...On all of my builds I always leave that for dead last for a few reasons.
1 - Its big money (in most cases) 2 - It is really important to the look of the vehicle. Good luck Marc
