Thanks Pete. That’s what I thought. I was worried about the glue sticking to tar.

Sorry to heat about your Mom. My condolences.

On the inside of the frame where the threaded boss for the beam is welded.

I just finished greasing the spindles and beam…only a little water came out. 🤷‍♂️ 😁

Got a bunch of little things done today…. On to installing the lowlightwerks mats! They look excellent.

Luis says to look at his samba thread for instructions….but there are like 50 pages of the same thing.

I just wanted to know if the tar insulation should be glued…or heated and stuck like original? Pete what did you do?

also. I see some screw holes where the firewall mat may have been attached that way. Thinking I will avoid putting holes in it unless the purist say it’s absolutely correct.

Juan, I want to order this new parcel shelf trim. Its not very expensive. Maybe it will look nicer than the scratched originals we have.

The originals are scratched. It’s anodized surface..so not as simple as polishing out.

The ones with the 🐕 on the back.

Cause it’s like the Wolfsburg crest.

Sounds awesome. I think exploring all the backroads around and on the swell would be cool.

if I was a cowboy hiding from the law in the 1880’s that where I would have gone.

The horn ring hardware and difference in 58 and 59 parts threw me for a loop…but I got it figured out.

The new divider trim looks great!

So awesome to have such history with a vehicle. It has been a tough one to assemble that is for sure.

Cole told me that they plan to drive it and use it. Setup with the late model drive train.
