    hello all
    please forgive the stupid questions but this all new to me so i'm being extra cautious. i am taking off the dog house for a little clean up. couple questions:
    -can i unbolt the radiator bracket without compromising its support?
    -are there seals that i can get for between the floor and the bottom of the doghouse. and then also for the cover.
    -can i insulate the inside of the doghouse and cover to cut down on noise, heat, and possibly smell
    -and lastly what should i use to remove glue and rubber left from old weatherstripping
    thanks

    I usually use a foam self-adhesive tape to seal the box to the floor. You can use Goof-Off or even brake clean to get the old glue off.

    I use this stuff to insulate the dog box.

    There is a guy on ebay that sells the rubber gaskets for Chevy, Dodge and Ford doghouses.
