Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

.

BAI-JEEZUS Handle.







Next job, rear cross bar.

Padded.



Then wrapped.

I used contact adhesive spray on both lengths of foam to help the webbing grip and not shift.

Once I made it to the last 300mm I added a narrow webbing loop into the wrap to aid pulling the end through and locking it in place once cut back.

John the lodger suggested it as the most secure way to actually ensure it did not come unstuck.



Use the narrow webbing to pull the wide stuff through under the wrap.

I adde a small length of masking tape over the contact glue to ensure the pull through was easier and did not get stuck halfway.



And pulled through.



Cut off, and wrap pulled back, allowing me to tuck it in and pull the wrap over the end with long nosed pliers.



Harnesses refitted over the padding and seems to fit well.



Job done.



Really pleased with that result.

Friday.
