26 December 2017 - Rear seat side panels

Both rear seat side panels have been painted.  They will be installed shortly.

While those panels were removed, I noticed that the floor and side areas of the back seat area need to be painted/rust removed.

I ordered two spray cans of Eastwoods rust encapsulator.  I will be spraying areas that have signs of rust.

16 December 2017 - Rear seat side panels

I have been considering changing the color of the interior from the off white/saddle color to a matte black, satin black or semi gloss black.

I settled on a flat black color.  I am using the Dupli-Color, Vinyl and Fabric paint, HVP106 FLAT BLACK.

The temperature today was in the high 60's, low 70's so I painted the driver side rear seat panel.

If the temps are good tomorrow I will paint the passenger side.

3 December 2017 - Corrosion Control - Inner Roof

For now it looks like the chassis saver is everywhere I need it.  I will need to do some touch up painting around the rear  side panels, as well as the overhead inner roof support.

The seats have been re-installed.  I will let this coat of chassis saver cure for a few days(weather permitting) and do the touch up work,

2 December - Front Bench Seat

In order for me to paint the inner roof and fore/after pillars, I removed the front and rear seats.  While removing the front bench seat, the passenger side track literally fell apart.

The track uses two pieces of metal that have ball bearings and rollers.  One end of the seat tracks roller and ball bearings fell out of the track.  After gathering up the parts, I attempted to put the assembly back together.  From what I've discovered it looks like this seat track has had this problem for awhile.  I had noticed that the passenger side doesn't always slide/move properly.

While looking at the parts of the seat track, one of two ball bearings was missing.  Which could explain why that track was difficult to move sometimes.

So I didnt have a 1/4" ball bearing handy but I did have one that close to that size.  So I removed that remaining bearing and put two of the same kind in the metal clip slider with the roller.  I greased everything and re-assembled.  I have not tested it yet, since it needs to be in the car and that will probably be tomorrow after the chassis saver dries.

2 December 2017 - Corrosion Control - Inner Roof

Today I was able to paint a coat of chassis saver on the inside of the roof.  I painted as much as I could and also painted the pillars fore and aft.  Once all of that dries, I'll see if another coat is needed.
