A quick update on my progress:

Leaks

I read that entire thread a few days ago. That's where I got the idea of the pre-shimmed butyl tape. It seems he had problems finding small quantities of it as well. An excellent thread and thanks...

So far I've used Vulkem and pop rivets on all of these seams, but it's covered by the lower molding. I'll get to try my hand at buck riveting once I get all of the parts I've ordered for re-building...
