More work on the interior. Started making this centre bulkhead panel earlier in the year. Used water, steam and clamps to get the radius close. Left to dry in the sun and held the shape pretty well.

Recently made the two side bulkhead panels and glued the vinyl and installed the trims.

After a failed attempt to glued a new lower rubber from ISP I cleaned off the glue, masked off and sprayed a body deadener which looks the part. Finished installing the panels this past weekend

That is looking mint Rusty.

What would you use to glue the lower rubber if doing it again? Asking because I’ll be attacking that between now and Christmas.
