The grinding, truck bedliner, rubber coating of the INSIDE of the doors is complete.
Had to order a fuel tank grommet- looked at the pic, correct shape-almost too small-with cussing and detroit iron will-Rich got it on the later model tank and filler neck pipe. It takes vaseline and over an hour to get it on. The straps from either version of tank don't exactly plug and play, so we will have to drill and adapt with the bolts and straps.
You have to use head liner glue (ours was in an orange can-pics to come). I have 3 large separate strips of rubber sheet now glued to the over head of the cabin.
I have about 3 pounds of rubber mat & 1.5 quarts of contact cement stuck to the floor pan inside the cabin. The sheets that soak up oil (pig mat is the unofficial name that I know them by) {these don't absorb water hardly at all} are on top of a few rubber sheet spots where the glue got away from me.
One step forward, ten steps back. The windshield transfer failed. He { a preofessional windshield guy}could cut my windshield out with the butyl black rtv-like-stuff no problem (Aspen car). He praised the urethane sealant that he regularly used-until he failed to cut out the urethane-sealed windshield from the donor-Volare car. So now no windshield. The order/part number for our windshield I believe is BW858.
The holes are drilled for the tail lights.
