69 Dearborn Mach 1 Undercarriage Seam Sealer
« on: October 22, 2012, 03:50:54 PM »
I have been looking through various posts but I could not locate any photos of seam sealer application on the underside of a Dearborn Mach 1. I have reference photos for the sound deadener that I will attempt this weekend but I would like to see photos for the sealer around the seat belt anchor and rear pan. I did find a photo of the sealer at the trunk drip and quarter panel. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure there was any (but will look) any seam sealant on the rear pan.

Recall around inner seat belt anchors and along the floor to rocker seam



Will look through my pictures - for cars completed in Jan 69 Dearborn

Ill look for an example from your time period - currently original examples are very inconsistent (some do others don't)  and its not a result of the sealant drying and falling off. Will get back to you soon

So trying to focus on  cars in the 14500-15500 range or close to that



Example of the front inner seat belt anchors ( thick stuff not spread or brushed out like many other years and plants)





Example of the rear inner seat belt anchors ( thick stuff not spread or brushed out like front)





Rear trunk drops I would guess (based on other cars) had a strip of brushed sealant along the bottom edge





As for rocker to floor seam sealant I do not have any clear examples of that area so I can't be sure. I have very nice examples from other periods - some with out but most with

Sorry can't be definite :( Got about 5 hours in the search

Ran across a couple of additional seat belt anchor sealant pictures from 69 Dearborn ;)

You can make out with some of the chalking has fallen off over the years

Fairly different from other plants that year
