Got the body gasket installed. I used some clear silicone to hold it all in place. Small nails were originally used to secure this seal in place at the factory. I have a ton of clamps, which were really necessary to hold the gasket in place while the silicone was drying. Joan says, “You can never have too many clamps.” That’s for sure! =) The gasket was cut into two pieces. One piece for the front cross panel support, and then the 2nd piece for the other 3 sides (driver, passenger, and rear cross members under rear seat). Looks good! All ready for the body now! =)
