E117 Trunk Lid Weatherstip Installation! 1956 Chevy Bel Air Restoation

In Episode 117, we install new weatherstrip on the trunk lid and we unbox an Iwata Neo airbrush to spray Axalta Rival Polyurethane single stage on some small parts and touch-up areas.

As a former owner of the famed 55-57 Chevy’s ,we are truly enjoying the progress on your 56 Bel Air.

Looking really good. Great explanation on the weatherstrip. Thanks for sharing!

Exalent video a car being restored the right way

Really liked this video (and all your other videos too). The real key is having a really clean surface and remembering you have to have the 3M weatherstrip adhesive on both the weatherstrip and trunk (and do wait for it to dry a bit - it’s hard to wait but it really does work). The installation of the trunk weatherstrip went perfect on my 1957 210 2-door sedan thanks to your great video. Cleaning, prepping and painting the trunk channel before installation was the big time consumer! Don’t cut corners when it comes to preping!

Looking good Bill!

Very Nice! Good pointers, especially about the adhesive. I would have been nervous about waiting that long for the adhesive to dry, but worked for you, so now I can rest assured it will work for me. :)

For some reason my comments are getting deleted ... so I'll try again ... probibly not the last time you'll chip the paint ... it takes a while for those seals to settle down ... lookin good ...

[@markfurry2807]

You are correct on how crisp and clean that looks! Christine looks so great in color now. Out of curiosity, do you plan to do any type of wet sanding and buffing? From I can see in the video almost looks like you don’t have to? That paint really laid down smooth!
