Well the parts are rolling in, but the car is not...
The car is now on the truck and rolling around Washington state as the transporter fills his truck. The new estimated time of arrival is Friday or Saturday of next week. This actually works pretty well since I will not be returning from my trip until next Friday. However, I was hoping that My Pal Dave could get the tires switched over next week while I was gone so we could jump right into the shocks and tire installation once I returned. Oh well...He did say the car was totally bada_s and in great condition. I got all puffed up, but my wife said the driver probably tells everyone that same story. She's only mildly tolerant....
Meanwhile the Polysteel tires have arrived and are ready along with the body side molding. Has anyone ever installed the 3M adhesive backed molding from Hitman's site or elsewhere? I have some some Probond Adhesive promoter I would like to use, but I wonder what experience other people have with the installation. Also, what is the correct cut on the ends where it transitions from each fender to the door? Is it a 90 degree cut, or should it be beveled to 45 degrees or something? Help....
I also ordered a bunch of other crap today for underhood cleanup. New radiator cap, correct heater hoses and tower clamps, and fuel line with foam insulation.
Give me help on the molding please. Here's some pictures.
