I don't like it because it looks out of place. I don't like the one in the video either. I want one that was made to fit and not a generic cut to fit one. I guess I may just go with the bare firewall since it is clean and freshly painted with CARC. I will deprive the mice of any place to chew and nest. I had several of my CUCV's with no insulation and all was well even in the northeast winter weather. I will ponder a few days and go from there. If anyone knows an accurate direct fit cover, I would be interested. A piece of rubber backed black carpeting runner strip, or a rubber mat would also work. But cutting it and getting it to fit to my satisfaction will be the issue.Why you do not like foil backed insulation?
Looks great. Not many know that the bumpers and the grille was originally painted in green and not in three color camouflage. I myself didn’t know that. Did you think about adding authentic markings on the front bumper and tailgate? We thought about that already because you know where this M1009 was in service a long time ago. Take care.After work today I worked on my M1009 project. Every part I can attach and get out of my center barn bay is a step in the right direction. From the first CUCV’s I ever seen 40 years ago I always liked the attention to the detail. The green moldings in contrast to the camouflage paint of the body. I know it was intentional and easier for GM to get green moldings made. I always liked that fine detail of the green grille and bumpers.

I have some black anodized aluminum rivets from many projects ago but they still make nice replacements for the plastic rivets in the fender emblem holes. I could have welded them holes shut but I like that detail also . I think I done enough for 1 day. This is how it gets done. 1 piece at a time. I have a new B/O drive lamp but think I will retain the OEM one and just put an 1156 LED bulb in the socket. Slave cable cover I guess looks OK as it is the OEM one from 40 years ago. Have a Great Day and Be Safe. View attachment 908533 View attachment 908529
Doesn’t look too bad to be honest. But stock rims rock most.View attachment 910199
I will just park this here.
I was setting a trap, and you came right in. Good to see your watching. Take Care.Doesn’t look too bad to be honest. But stock rims rock most.
