Like Rattiac said, lay it in the sun. We use to either drape it across a top out side in the sun or on the hot concrete drive. Heat gun does come in handy sometimes.

Rattiac may use something different, but we always kept a gallon of Weldwood Landau top and trim adhisive. Price can vary quite a bit pending vendor.

Just picked this stuff up at Grainger's ,  yea you were right 38 bucks picked up but online they as much as double the price with crazy shipping .  shook the can and fortunately it sounds pretty thin so applying with a brush shouldn't be a problem.  Was debating trying to spray it but whatever makes the least mess I suppose .   Can probably do my Oldsmobile top down the road as well .  Thanks for the tips good to be around pros in here!

Seat looks great!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Thanks. Here's the interior shot. Gets all new panels, headliner, and carpet. Too bad about the gas smell though. I'd rather have them fix it beforehand.

Over the several months I've been helping a buddy replacing body panels on a 65 chevy pick up with a big back glass. Today we painted the firewall and inner fenders and radiator support.

Great job with the seat, it's going to look fantastic!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Other than working on people's cars all week, I was able to work on the trailer some more.

Underneath the countertop there's an inch of space. So I decided to extend the countertop a bit.
Making a slide out shelf.
Ended up cutting a notch out on the side to slide into.

Made a hinged support to hold up the under bed storage area.

After weeks of trying to order some small cabinets, IKEA finally opened Monday.
Found these 9-3/4" square metal locker boxes which are lighter than the wood units they sell....
and perfect size too.

Almost all organized for the next trip.😎

It will be back. That looks like a real tight cab for people under 5'  9".    Look at the bed length on that truck, 6 foot plus ?
