Are you sure it's red enough? This is just another reminder that I need to retouch my interior soon!

Looks great! Good work as always!

Gonna shoot the rear side panels with some firethorn and if that doesn't look good, I'll try recovering with carpet.

New shifter knob on the way from China. Got a 9/16-12 tap from Amazon. Best to run a die over the seat studs or could turn into an hour long nightmare. New R4 compressor from Rockauto and refrigerant on sale at Princess. That is all.

Adjusted the hinges - bent the A pillar / door into where it needed to be with some applied weight. Good as it's going to get and better than it ever has been. Door opens / closes nicely now but no rubber installed yet.

Hey Chris, I would be very interested in how the nylon bump stops work on your hatch. I asked Clyde about this a same part a couple years ago as both of mine are in the same shape as yours was and I was looking for a replacement but interestingly enough Clydes 75 does not have that part on it.

I know of another 75 that didn't get it either so no doubt it was an afterthought, add on in subsequent years to address the squeaking issue.
