I’ve been busy the last couple days cleaning, painting, buffing, and polishing door window bits. Trimming and fitting seals. Just waiting on quarter window to door window trim pieces for final adjustment of door windows.

Few pics from the process of building the outer scrapers/seals/felt.

 

All ready for install. Outer scraper/felt/seal together, inner felt together,  outer trim polished and clips installed.

 

Fruits of my labor. 

We will build it if it comes.

this is what I want about the interiors John, trim & panels, did you receive extra material for the panels?, I thought you have received the panels from Lenny Copp,.. If you dont, I think its better to order the panels to Lenny Copp, to match the materials,.. any idea where I can buy the trims for the inside door?

[John Jones]

Juan… We have the panels and such already!!  It was a complete kit we got from Lenny!!!!!!

Douglas will be here today to put some time in!!!!!  😎  Pics later!

I thought the front and rear panels got a piece of chrome on them as well as the one’s above the panels on the door.  I should look in your book… I just noticed the panels are prepped for em… but holes not punched in material.  Douglas is doing a small amount of work… 😎

Hi KVW,.. Could you share more pics of Douglas Job ?,.. Have a Grat Day everyone!

[John Jones]

I guess we could.. but see, Doug only works 2 hours a day now… and he’s only productive 3/4 of that time… and thats if it’s early in the day… 😎  So we were hoping to be able to post some real progress by Friday…… 😎  I am not sure if Doug is retired… or just slow, or maybe he’s getting old?? 😎
