Weatherstripping clue

What have you guys used to clue the weatherstripping back on the doors? Silicone is all I can come up with.

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Thanks Andy. I hope they last. I did put extra epoxy on the inside to strengthen them.

Re: Ouch!!

Sorry that happened to you. Glade your OK. That's my greatest fear after all the effort one puts into the car.

Re: Wiring ideas for your car

Looks great Tom! Nice and clean, plus will make any future removal a lot easier. What did you do about the high beam indicator light? Does your speedo have it built into it? Lou Thanks Lou. Yes my speedo actually has a high beam light and turn signal lights. I'm using the turn signal lights for not...

Re: Wiring ideas for your car

I used Lou's suggestion about making the dash gauges removable by making a connection. Here are a couple of pictures showing what I did. The connections on the right are for the tach which will be on the dash. The pot is to make the led lights in the gauges dimmable and the 2 wire connection is for ...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Thanks guys for all the support. I especially enjoy seeing all your posts. I've learned a ton from you guys and you sure know these cars inside and out. It amazes me how you guys can pick something out from the pictures. Here are some pictures of the fender Kingspeedy2. So far they both look great. ...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

I've watched you guys doing a lot of different arrangements to install some new gauges. So I came up with this idea. I want to use the original face but you can't find a complete set of 1 1/2" gauges which some of you have pointed out so I built this backing plate to mount the 2 1/16" gauges in. htt...

What accelerator pedal did you use?
I'm looking at the Lokar setup but just curious what you have.

Thanks
I bought one from Speedway Motors part #916-55013 and also used the Lokar setup where you can cut it to fit. The Lokar cable ended up pretty short but was very flexible.

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Thanks Guys. I told Classic-auto air what I was doing and they sent a custom hose kit. A lot of hose and a bunch of fittings. I made up the hoses the way I wanted them and then took them to my auto parts store to be crimped. Worked out real slick. This unit fits perfect under the dash, uses the stoc...

Re: Tomb's 65 Comet Build

Thanks Rocket for mentioning the crankcase ventilation issue. I did some research today and I'm thinking of buying old school valve covers with a baffled opening for the PCV valve and a baffled breather cap and hook it up like they used too. Run the PCV into the manifold then.
