Got some more work in tonight, installed the glass, of course one fits perfect and one not so much. Anyone here ever sanded glass?

Carbon fiber insert is in, lighting is bad, it really looks nice:

**youngrodder** · 03-29-2016, 11:00 PM

I had the edges of my glass polished. I think they use a cork belt of sorts. They screwed up one piece of glass by polishing it too much in one spot which left the glass uneven. I'm pretty sure it can be don't but it depends how much you are looking to sand/reduce the glass.

Got some work done on the front end:

**66ChevyMax** · 03-30-2016, 11:00 PM

Door weatherstrips from GMC Pauls, these things are great just hammer on with a rubber mallet:

Love the headlights . Doing something similar with mine when the time comes.

66-PMD-GMC · 03-31-2016, 07:58 AM

I'd like to be at the point of door seals on any one of my projects.
That would be fantastic.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-31-2016, 09:16 AM

Thanks, it turned out pretty cool.

I guess those are the new push-on kind. What are your overall thoughts? I know a lot of folks were using the Honda seals to get away from gluing.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-31-2016, 12:47 PM

Yes, I haven't hung the doors yet so I can't speak to that but as far as fit and how snug they are I would say they are great. Had to hit with rubber mallet to get them to press on.

Cool, yeah I wasn't even thinking about the doors not being on yet.

Look forward to an update once they're hung.

Everything looks to be coming together nicely. Keep rollin'!

Thanks AD, welcome aboard, it's what makes this board so cool, it's just as much about the journey as it is the truck, thanks for tuning in.
