It goes both ways. He helps me out with engine work, we trade parts as needed, etc.

What are you planning on using for drip rail sealer? I used some stuff from 3M and have found it peeling out. I think it's because I was lazy and didn't remove the factory ecoat from the new roof panel and the sealer didn't stick to it. I need to clean out all of the sealer and grind away the ecoat.

I don't remember what I used on my 71. It's been like 8 years, but I think it was the 3M one. Should only need to scuff the e-coat to get things to stick on it.

There was already a bunch of money spent on acquiring the cab (it was pretty much rust free when purchased) but the damage came later from sitting outside and rodents. So do you throw it out or hope to get something for it selling as is or fix it? Lots of better cabs around but they're not bargains. He spent around $600-650 in patch panels. Can't find a decent cab for twice that much.
