Re: Out of the Ditch = The Rebuild Begins ('72 GMC)

Thanks!

Spent the evening after work using a 3M Roloc Bristle Disc on the door edges of the cab. Removed all the old glue residue and stuck rubber from the old seals. Had to hit a few areas with a 60 grit grinding wheel to get at some rust. But It's all done. Now I have to mask it all off and give it a shot of etching primer and then a coat of paint before I put my new push-on door weather seals on.

Also seam sealed the entire cab last night. Gonna go over a few more areas with brushable sealer after work today.
