I didn't think I made much progress since the last update but, was able to get a few things done.



One other little project was building a caulking gun for the 50ml 3M seam sealer. Short story is I saw a great deal on seam sealer but, didn't realize that it was only 50ml instead of the standard size so, instead of spending another $50 for a new gun, I just made one.

Clever little tool. I almost did the same thing when I ought some fiberglass-metal adhesive. The 50ml tube was $20, but the gun was $50. I just did my best to squirt out the same linear displacement of material per tube. Ain't it fun when a 20 minute project gets a 2 hour diversion?

I haven't gotten much accomplished. I really need to shoot some primer and lay down some filler but, with the daytime high temps in the teens, that isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Is there going to be another piece you are going to make to create a bulged trunk floor? Maybe I'm over engineering this, but the return plumbing looks like it can easily be pinched in the event something very undesirable occcurs.

Great work, someday I'll post some pics of my build, the 16-year-younger brother to your ride, my 79 Caprice.
