Not that I could tell. I just thought you had good taste.

Dave.

65 wonton · 05-16-2013, 11:29 PM

Troy, you said you would need bumpers or stops when you got ready to hang the doors for transport.

Are you referring to the round plug-like stops or the around-the-rim door weatherstrip? Have you ordered/received them yet?

I ask because I am ordering some rubber stuff and wondered what to/not to order.

Where did you get your rubber from,LMC? If so/not were you OK with what you did order, ie did installation go OK?

Dave.

I've got the door bumpers (round plugs) picked them up with inner fenders. My door seals were from lmc. I would recommend when you put the seals on set them in the sun first... They are tight!

Alan's Classic · 05-19-2013, 08:32 PM

Thanks Alan! We got lucky here, last night we had some serious wind an sheet rain but no damage. Now Wichita, Topeka and others dust fair so well... Dave (owner) might have some damage where he is! Looks like these storms were heading north east... Tis the season. On the build, sanding over head SUCKS!!! My shoulders hurt and that spray able filler primer is no joke...

I was scuffing Greg's inside roof panel with a red pad and said too myself this will suck to sand. I forgot since my truck. I might lay it on it's back so I can stand up and do it. I wish that would work.

shortbed70 · 05-19-2013, 09:05 PM

I thought about building a square base and back and rocker type tubes to connect the two so I could roll it to its back and stand in te rear window area and sand but I don't work on these enough to justify doing so.

Yeah, well I did lend my idea of using 2 engine stands with a little modification to make a rotiserie.

For me it would have been necessary even for a one-off. Having to sand overhead would have put me down for a week. Working on the floor likewise. But there was a time....

Looking good and getting close. See ya Thursday.

Dave.

shortbed70 · 05-20-2013, 12:56 PM

Sounds good Dave. Hopefully I'll have at least one door repaired if the parts come in today or tomorrow.
