That 3M 77 is pretty good stuff, I've used it myself.
An it should holed what every you put it on.

The appolstry shops use contact cement on both sides of the part. It might take two people

 

Yea, I coated both parts then let it setup. Then recoated one side to make it tacky then mated the parts.

You all are just too fancy for Mexico... we have to melt horse's hooves for glue...caution when trying this at home.. .use a dead horse...or you could get kicked or crapped on..

Looking good Todd. I notice you have no snow. My yard is white and my driveway is already icy.

 

Is your PVC barn a kit or is that something you concocted?

 

Finally!!! 3/18/18

Here it is all done except tucking the edges. I used the 3M 90 adhesive. Worked good but I used practically the entire can. The can says it will cover 65 sq. ft.? Dunno 'bout that! But I'm happy. I made my own firewall cover for approx. $48 and I like the way it looks.

My camera is busted so these pics from my dino flip phone ain't so hot.

 

Looks fine, and the price is right amigo... I like it...and it should work super...as they say in Baja... muy invento..

looks very good.. and is something you can look at and know you built it.. not just checked a box in a magazine..

Hey Teach. Sorry I just saw your question here. It's a prefab. Cost me $200. Guy across the way has one and it has lasted 4 years now and it looks almost as good as mine.. After it snows I just go out and push from the inside and I build up my side insulation!

 

Thank you Baja and Whiskey. Need the Kudos. Kind of tough to get started again after working on the house beee-uuu-ti-fi-cation!

 

Still need a new camera but here are a couple things I have done recent

The first time I tried to paint the grills I got this Top of the heap plastic paint. Now I consider myself rather adroit at using rattle cans. I shake them for at least 3 minutes before first using and I control my humidity and temp. Well that crap came out like when a 2 year old sneezes with a bad cold. Spittle and strings. This time with some good stuff I trust, they came out good except for the facing surfaces. Need to sand them and hit them one more time.

First wing window done


Here's my second shot at painting the inserts. I'm thinking about painting the facing edges "chrome" but I'm going to wait until I try them out in the finished grill.

 

I painted the AC vents & the truck grill the some chrome paint.
If painting on a day some what cool day, I warn up the spray can in warn water for about 15 minutes..

Looks good Rich, and nice trick with the warm water... I will use it if we ever get a cool day in Baja... ha ha ha... I noticed that your A/C does not impede your Xfer case shifting... mine is a "Frig King", after market dealer installed, and I cannot shift into 4x4 low range, at least not until I bend the shift lever a bit... so far, have not needed low range, but someday... when I need it, I may be sorry if I have procrastinated more... Its on the "To Do" list...

Hmm Russ, I've had to bend the shift stick when first installing a old AC dash unit that a friend gave me when working for Kaiser Steel Iron ore mine where the summer time had gotten up to 126* a few times and as low as 16* an once it even snowed a few inches.
Any way the old stock shift lever hit the dash unit an got the old torch out an reshaped it..

Well the dash unit was for a truck with an auto trans plus hit my wiper motor so had to move the blower motor some.

Any doing all the it would freeze up after about an hrs time when the day time temp was up around 110*+.


Well about 3 yrs later, I moved to a much cooler place to live an the compressor clutch bearing was going out and that when, I removed the whole AC
System dash unit also.
After a few yrs past, A guy I knew sold stuff at the Flea-market/ swap meet gave me a AC dash unit that fit my dash an cleared all but the shift lever stick.
Yup had to bend it again. This was when going to the Sanden unit an using the double barrier ac hoses using the newer ester oil so I could switch over to r134
if an when the time came that I could not fit any r12:

Oh me oh my this has gotten longer then what, I what, I thought it would now the time comes to change trannys over to a over drive.
I have also had to bent the TF shift lever stick cause it would hit the seat or the tranny stick..
Russ, I've felt your pain many times over..
That's my story.
