Not much done for over a month, hunting season has been using up my spare time, but I'm back in the garage for a year end push, I have all of next week off.

Floor plugs in, wheel wells sealed, and prepped for spraying Raptor Liner Monday.





And I got back on boxing the frame rails back in although I need to swap out to my .035 wire for this heavier stuff and the frame braces.

 
It's good to see you back to work on it again. I somehow missed this thread..
You are one thorough individual. Keep up the good work...keep us updated.
 
You do nice work. That's going to be a really great car!
 
And I broke out the seam sealer today, most probably overkill.
I need a heavier product for the wheel wells then I can get to spraying the undercoating.

I would look at using sprayable seam sealer, I have used it before to duplicate the coating on the bottom of the rockers on 4th gen F bodies. I have also used it on the underside of the front surround on C3 corvettes to help reduce rock strike starring.

Wurth, Kent, 3M all make it, I'm sure others do as well.

I ended up using a Transtar #4167 for the vertical stuff as well as the inside seams, good stuff and reasonable on cost. For the drip rails and trunk area I do have a 3M 2k product though.
