More sanding, and skimcoating on the doors.


Its like 96* here in WI and the heat is making it tough to get some stuff done. We did take a little time to dodge in and out of the A/C and make wrap up some interior loose ends. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we cut the carpet for the rear wall, and now we wanted to get that taken care of. I picked up some heavy screw snaps, and we set out measuring and drilling pilots for the snaps, then coming back in with the screw-in heads. Next move was to install the button-head part of the snap, by using the supplied tool to secure them. It was then just a matter of installing and trimming some loose ends. The bottom of the material actually tucks under the floor carpet, but this was just the initial fitting.







I also picked up some Hide'em, a cool sort of edging material you can use to hide staples and stitches and the like. I applied to the finished edge of the kick-area carpet I cut. For the unseen edges, I used a heat gun to clean up the edges and help slow any fraying or seperation. (Yes we are going to clean and paint the kick area above). The carpet actually comes straight across, the groove in the panel makes this look very wavy, although in person its not)




Also got an LED dome light bulb for free from some Chinese company who was giving stuff away on LS1tech
