Re: 68 Second Chance

Had some time today to get the floor rubber mat, tar paper and the white foam pad removed. After getting that removed and swept up into the trash can I grabbed the Shop Vac and got the rest of the debris. Mixed up some Simple Green concentrate and sprayed it down to soak in for a few minutes. Hit it again with another spray down of Simple Green and started scrubbing with a stiff brush to get fifty years of dust and dirt cleaned up. Then grabbed a bucket of hot water and started mopping up the mess with microfiber towels.

Now that it is clean I moved onto applying the foil and foam insulation that I get from Home Depot. It is used for wrapping air ducts on HVAC systems. The insulation is very affordable, easy to work with and does a great job. I just use a razor knife to cut it. I have used the material on a few trucks and can tell the difference in the trucks that do not have insulation, especially here in Idaho when the snow falls.

Anyways once I got that done I grabbed the carpet that I had laid out in my office to get the folded wrinkles out. Made the cut for the gear shift and got it into place. Still need to pull out the solder gun to make all the holes for the gear shift boot screws, seat mounts, door sill screws etc.
