I have the front door rubber, just ordered the rear cargo door window rubber, not looking forward to doing the $$$$ side window rubber with the four sliders...any imput would be greatly appreciated.

I do need to get pictures of the original style, type and locations of the rear cargo door seals...ANYBODY ?

dthela · 09-07-2011, 09:20 PM

email me at dthela@verizon.net and i'll remember to out out and take some pics!

KIC · 09-12-2011, 09:58 PM

Moving along in the paint department. Got some of the interior shot, and the rest sanded, ready for primer. Last piece of metal installed under the driver's door, unfortunately a poorly timed rain storm caused a little surface rust..no big deal.

KIC · 09-12-2011, 10:01 PM

More shots of the interior parts painted and sanded.

**Corts60** · 09-13-2011, 12:50 AM

Alright man! Looking great!

KIC · 09-16-2011, 01:47 AM

Well it keeps moving along...the interior is looking so nice...

Was supposed to get the new windshield in, but the installer got rained out. Scheduled for tomorrow. Also got in the new window rubber for the rear cargo doors

c.brown · 09-20-2011, 08:50 AM

looking good!

dthela · 09-21-2011, 01:42 AM

good job!

KIC · 10-06-2011, 12:50 AM

So far plan B has cost me $175.00 and the "expert" hasn't installed it yet. Can't afford a Plan C. Considering making the thing a dang convertible....with a good pair of sunglasses...

KIC · 10-15-2011, 11:24 PM

10-day update..still no windshield. Even the town "expert" wants to have 4 people there to install...and it ain't happened yet...bummin' me out over this stupid windshield issue.

dthela · 10-16-2011, 05:44 PM

i spent 4 hours just trying to get the gasket on the glass and gave up!!!!! send them to me when they come! lol

KIC · 10-16-2011, 05:53 PM

It seems the quality of the gasket really makes the difference. I bought mine from LMC and the first guy that walked away didn't like the gasket. After he left we tried to get the gasket on and couldn't do it. But I also have the chrome trim. The 2nd "expert" said he had to order his own or he wouldn't do it. So I guess I wasted $40.00 on the LMC gasket.

Now...if I could only get the freakin thing installed.

dthela · 10-16-2011, 10:41 PM

gasket had a slot too small for glass to fit in, and was very stiff, i have to order another one too!

KIC · 11-16-2011, 09:39 PM

Finally got it installed....woohoo....one small step in the great big picture...one big leap in the daily grind....

**Corts60** · 11-17-2011, 01:00 AM

Come on now, you can't just say you got it installed and not post any pictures...

**Captainfab** · 11-17-2011, 02:11 AM

I agree.....and we need to know where you got the windshield rubber that fit.

OKAY..finally got some pictures and I will have to call the installer to find out the who-what-where of the new gasket. I know my first LMC was crap.

kikkegek · 10-27-2013, 04:33 AM

Cool! What color?

KIC · 10-27-2013, 11:46 AM

The original color scheme. White and the dark green bottom. I am not painting the roof the original dark green due to Arizona heat factors. But my Dad painted the roof white after moving here in 1960, so it has had a white roof all my life until hit just faded off from the sun and sitting around. . The closest I could find we was either the Centauri Green 7666 or the Delta Green – 41792 and using Olympic White 8269. We are going with with the Delta Green:

KIC · 10-27-2013, 12:37 PM

Here is a cool link for paint colors: http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcod...?ditzler=41792

Just pick the manufacture and the year(s)

I am not sure if my original green was Hemlock or Delta, so I went with Delta since it seems to have a little more "pop"

KIC · 01-04-2014, 09:56 PM

Still getting a little closer. The body work keeps getting better and better... finished the repair of the rear tail light. Hoping to have it painted by the end of the month.. and how many times have I said that ...??

KIC · 04-05-2014, 11:06 PM

Well we are getting closer. Almost all the body work is totally complete. The final sanding is complete and all that is needed is some minor touch up and then PAINT. The sides are SO straight... My friend doing the body work just kept working them. Using a straight edge in all directions shows it doesn't have any waves and is straight.

These pictures are a week before it was all complete, but close...getting closer..getting excited about it....

kikkegek · 04-06-2014, 04:51 AM

Gogogo! Excited!
