Hello, long time no see..
I continue restoring my '68 GT, already drove it and it goes nice and smooth. I'd like to ask you two questions:
1. I found that the body was not bolted to the floor. I must lift the body at least 1-1/2" above the floor, to get more space while sitting inside, so my head won't touch the roof. So there is a gap of 1-1/2" (see photo) - what can I insert into this gap? It should be flexible, so I was thinking of a tick-wall rubber hose (like a sand blasting hose), but a 3/4" thick hose wall is too thick. So may be two hoses, one above the other? or do you have any better idea?
Also - how many bolts should I put? do you think that 8 bolts (4 at each side) is sufficient?
2. There is a decorative fiberglass cover over the headlight (see photo). Does it need to be glued? obviously not, because I need to get access to the inside. So how is it connected without falling off?
Many thanks for your help!
