Tony, it was pretty easy to work with, spray a test patch and adjust air and get a feel for the amount coming out. I ran with 1 1/2 out on the nozzle and that seemed to lay out nice. Good luck!

Thanks and there's plenty mo pictures!

So .... cleaned up the reinforcement pieces that the window fuzzies get attached to, still need to get some zinc primer on them and weld them to the outer door skin prior to attaching the skin. If the weather warms up I may try my hand at bonding the passenger side door skin......that's why there is bare metal all around the perimeter of the door skin and the frame... for the 3M Bonding.

Touching up door with POR Chassis Black before I cover w/ skin!

Thanks for looking ....

Thanks Jeremy ... trying to keep everyone motivated with pictures

So, it's been raining and flooding here in NOCO for a week and the temp never got above 60 so I could not get the door skins bonded, so plan B. Fit in the passenger side mini tub and get some measurements.

Made a go no go gauge outa wood that fits snug (41 5/8") and would keep things parallel with the drivers side tub ... worked well. Fit snug inside the backseat area, up and over the shock area and half way through the trunk .... and then I took a turn or something, it's metal I can fix it!

Pictures ..... here's the mini tub clamped with the measurements, the surprise was the tub in the trunk - there is a gap of 3/4" between them , the front was 5/8" just like the driver's side. Same drill .... flatten the flange and move it over to fit the outer wheel house flange


My go-no-go gauge fit in the trunk!

I undercut the floor at the end ... and there is a gap between the tubs.

The front of the tub ... same as drivers side

Wasn't expecting this fer sure ....

Quick depth measurements shows the same as the drivers side That's all for today, thanks for looking ....
