Appreciate the reply Gene. Rubber gaskets aren't an option for this vehicle ('65 Impala). It's either butyl tape or Urethane from a tube. I just...
Don't think anyone is going to call b/s as to it adding structural strength. Thing is - to the best of my knowledge these windows were not...
Thanks for the reply and...how ironic. The windshield in question is for a '65 Impala SS Coupe and I spy your '65 wagon avatar! :cool: I'm...
Appreciate the replies! @BJR - I contemplated my first urethane-only install but figured I'd stick with the tried and true method and possibly...

I'm planning on keeping the stock AM radio in place on the '65 Impala. Although tunes and talk are a low need/priority for me I am "upgrading" the...
Currently just outside Andrews Air Force Base (JBA). Making plans though to vacate the state early next year to, as of yet, parts unknown. In...
Much appreciate the replies. Lots of great info and insights!
Thanks to all. Much appreciate the info and insight!
I just purchased an aluminum-in-the-raw radiator for a stock '65 Impala and you know it has to be black. I'm not sure that all the fuss some make...
Appreciate the replies. Looking at the SDS for each shows very little as to component differences, if any, amongst the four. The TDS are also...
Anyone up to speed on the usability of the different USC fillers? I'm basically looking at four of their offerings that all seem to pretty much...
Appreciate the practical insight Mr48chev.
Finished rebuilding a '65 800 series power steering box and all seemed fine. It sat on the shelf for a few months and as I was prepping for...
Curious if anyone has had opportunity to use this brand. Fargo looks to be the house brand for Truck and Car Shop which I assume is imported and...
Sounds great, look forward to it. ;-)
Thanks again Dana! That was a real nice project thread you posted. Have to say you did a bang-up job on that interior, all the while using mom's...
Many thanks! I know we were talking rear seat back but I'll lay out what my overall gameplan was -- After initial research I planned to use 12oz...
For all the reasons you list -- If I weren't set on foam-from-scratch the U-Pull it option would definitely trump off the shelf buns. "If"...
Thanks Dana! I never dreamed how difficult it would be to locate a "good" upholstery shop locally. The three I visited were absolutely pitiful --...
Appreciate the reply! Good call on the Camie! I have a can of 303 within arms reach as I type this. ;-) I've reupholstered a half dozen or so...

Appreciate the interest desotot! The seats are '65 Impala. They originally had poured (molded) foam for the buckets and rear seat bottom. Rear...
I'm hoping to hear some personal experience regarding foam selection when rebuilding '60s era seats. My preference is to not use pre-made seat...
Thanks for the reply DDDenny. It's a '65 Impala that's 100% stock. I'm trying to stay close to a stand-off restoration so the only real change I...
