1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
So here are the slider that hold the front channel felt in. They were all broken.... I decided to try to use the new ones that came with the DMT kit.... knowing what I was getting into..
This seal was rock hard and even with the heat gun it was a STRUGGLE getting it out..
Clean off the thick foam seal on the top channel.
We fixed a dent in the trim. Here is all you need. Dolly it VERY carefully then file lightly to find high spots and dolly some more. Repeat until flat. Sand with 220 wet, then 800 wet then 1500 wet and then head for the buffer.
She really likes buffing.
Here is what is left of the felt......
The DMT kit gives you everything you need. Jim is working on a TRUE replacement for the felt that has a factory arc to it. These straight ones are a pain and buckle/tear easy...
Here is what I was saying. The replacement guides are WAY to thick and if you try to jamb them in you will immediately tear the felt... don't do it...
