A few things I'd like to mention/ask: (this topic being adapted for use on my 67 with Select-Aire)
1.) I believe the sealer used between the two halves of the case was black strip-caulk (like 3M sells). Unless otherwise suggested NOT to use this, my plan was to roll out a very thin strip and level it off in the groove of the one side of the case.
2.) I am also ready to glue my new foam onto the internal doors (~the light grey ones). Also ready to attach/reattach the heater core and evaporator seals/gaskets (black ones). I could use suggestions for a good adhesive that will not react to the foam in the kit I have. I am thinking 3M spray for the grey foam on the doors and maybe "The Right Stuff" by Permatex on the black foam around the heater core and evaporator.
3.) If the case halves looks reasonably clean, should I avoid "clear coating" them if at all possible? (keep in mind the 67-68 AC case is visable under the dash/glovebox area so I want this to look sharp)
Any other good idea before I go together?
The internal doors, shafts, hardware & internal plates have all been Evaporust cleaned, then I use steel wool on the plates & doors. (everything looks very nice so far
) The (12) clips which hold the two halves of the case together have also been stripped of rust and re-dipped in black paint (similar to original ~obviously there was very little care given to the original painting process used on these clips)
I have just a little more rust removal on the collar that joints the AC/Heater case together to the separate blower box (plan is to run again through the Evaporust, then Boeshield T-9 the bare metal collar), still need to repaint the fresh air and recirculation grille inlets so this all goes together by this weekend.
All previous help here appreciated. For me, it is very easy to get the "functional" portion right...I am focussing on input needed to duplicate Concours detailing.
Thanks in advance.
