Re: Project "49 No Buck$"

This is another one of those I’m real cheap deals! Instead of just buying the lower door seal, I figured I’d build my own and use it to hold my carpet down at the same time. I went and picked up a piece of 1 ½” x 1/8” aluminum angle and cut them to the length of the door opening. The rubber is from the back doors of a ‘79 Suburban (practically free at any wrecking yard!) and it slides onto the bottom of the aluminum. I squirted some weather strip adhesive in the pinch area and slid the rubber in place. I used a black sharpie to mark (I hadn’t removed the line yet) where my holes needed to be drilled, then countersunk them. I used some stainless oval head screws to hold it in place. The rubber seals up right below the door panel and it keeps out what air was sneaking around into the cab!
