Progress on #782

As I recall, the tubes that go over the threaded rod are aluminium. A little polish every now and then should take cae of them.

Thanks Jim. Can you also take a look at my other ERA post on the fit of the sidecurtains to windshield and give me your opinion?

I should add that I like the answer on polished aluminum. After finally getting that front bumper bolted in with those hard to get to threaded rod/nuts behind the grill - I hope to never remove it again.

Thanks

Not much progress this week. Had the windshield on but had to remove it for an issue with the rear view mirror bracket. I did a trial with the vinyl for the rear bulkhead. I applied sound deadner/insulation over the rear bulkhead which ends up lumpy enough to reflect through vinyl. I had a roll of sunscreen fabric laying around that I thought might work as an underlayment to provide a smooth surface under the vinyl. It's pretty stiff and has a fine woven texture. I used it on the differential/brake access cover and it looks like it will work fine. This will be a lot of work as basically I will have to cover the rear bulkhead twice with material.



The ice has finally left the driveway to where I could back my Lightning pickup backed out and get a couple pictures with a little more perspective.
