Clean bus! You'll love it more once it's running and camping!

Couple more updates! Motor is installed and I am starting to work on the interior! Looking for help on best place to research for a 67. Trust me, I've memorized the 67 section! I need help on how the interior cabinetry connects to the bus etc.
Thoughts on my interior?
Trying to figure out this new rubber....
All 5 completed!
Fresh motor with 5 miles on it now!

You prolly figured out already that it is a royal pain in the ass to install!!! 
It is indeed one of the toughest rubber to install, but once in, you'll be happy about it!

Not me...my right side one just won't seal correctly. The vent window just doesn't seat in the channel tightly enough when it's closed. Leaks. Maybe one day I'll figure it out. The left side is fine.
