Yes they used them. I won't be though, I prefer to use a tenon laced in 3M 5200 adhesive. It makes a strong flexible and waterproof joint.

Re: '27 Fordor Restore......# 5 !!!

You ain't wrong Dennis, but I have to give the priors credit that they truly deserve. That patch of wood or that gob of bondo may not be a good or safe way to do it but, it did help keep the car around for 93 birthdays. If the car could talk the story may justify the why's. 93 years later the car is...

Re: '27 Fordor Restore......# 5 !!!

I've mentioned on prior posts about the main-rail crossmember tenon wear. Here is a perfect example of just that. The main-rail outer edge has settled more than a 1/4" on both sides of the car. This may seem minuscule but when the time comes for the final fitting and door operation it can make for a...

Re: Door bumpers...

I've always used Locktite PL-S30 Roof Flashing Sealant. It's black, cleans up with Mineral Spirits and sticks to anything. Be sure to let it cure fully before using the doors.

Re: '16 Centerdoor restore...

So the '16 is put away for the winter. I took her for a drive to Frankenmuth (60 miles RT) and she drove great for having a 20 mph crosswind. But being a chicken @#$% I took a hammer to the wood spokes....yup gained a half dozen clinkers !! So its stuff the Stutzmans wallet time. :D
