grannyknot Posted May 7, 2017 Share #289 Posted May 7, 2017 I salvaged my original fender seals but now I'm thinking of back tracking and using your method. The black under the cowl vents is also a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatybetty Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share #290 Posted May 17, 2017 fenders on, lined up, and cut, buffed and polished marker lights installed and wired new "fuzzies" from vintage rubber. question: should the rubber overlap the window frame as shown in the second picture? finally got the new seat foam yesterday. hopefully have the seats done next week end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every old one I've seen has been cut to the angle of the window frame on the inside edge but cutting the squeegee to the outside edge would probably keep out more water.

jfa.series1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #292 Posted May 17, 2017 FWIW - The replacements I purchased several years ago from BD were angle-cut to butt against but not overlap onto the window frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatybetty Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share #293 Posted May 18, 2017 the person i talked to said he had bought a few sets when BD closed up shop. i think ill try trimming them to match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatybetty Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share #294 Posted May 27, 2017 a couple more things off my list. i bet i spent the better part of 6 hours sandblasting the grill, lots of little nooks and crannies. i believe this is the only body part on the whole car i didnt have to repair! just sandblast and paint finally got the seat foam and covers done. the foam came from msa, and the covers from interior innovations. i spent maybe 3 hours on the seats. Hardways thread here was a big help. instead of plastic, i used baby powder on the foam. the covers went on easily. i also took the seat hinges apart and powder-coated them and the screws. just waiting on carpet, wheels and door panels now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmorales-bello Posted May 27, 2017 Share #295 Posted May 27, 2017 Seats look good. If you put them out in the sun and heat for a couple of hours the material will conform better and smooth out some of the wrinkles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
