Santa clause showed up in May driving a brown truck today and delivered the precision door rubber kit with push on weatherstrip. Looks to be good quality parts. I am quite happy with the push on seals, I know some don’t care for them but I like them enough I’m gonna order a set for my K10 soon. I’m gonna pull the doors one last time and paint them up a shade of green close to what the cab is for now so at least it’ll all be a few different similar shades of green.
Same goes for the rockers and cab corners for now. I’ll probably pull the bed To do this because the bed is actually the right shade of green and will be a lot easier to get prepped for paint when the time comes for real... just to be clear no bodywork is being done at this time. Just some temporary spray bomb madness Until I’ve got the funds to paint it correctly in the original 557 scheme.
I stripped the passenger vent window and side window and the remainders of the rubbers so I’ll I’ve got to do is pull the door off once it’s been sanded down some. The Driver door will probably get the same treatment tomorrow. Here’s a picture of the weather strip mocked up.
I also started mocking the inner heater box back up and making a list for the stuff I need to get the heater running again. I’m really motivated here lately I can’t wait to bring this thing back home, it’s been 3 long years.
