BUT, need help with front Targa SEAL
placed the front targa to winshield seal as recommended, read the threads, minimal glue etc...
BUT now, the targa top sits very high up , and it just looks wrong. Do i need to shave the seal down? I thought shaving was for slightly later models... pics:

Great job! Those early headlamp assemblies improve the looks from frontal angles a tremendous amount!

Excellent!
Any pix or a parts list for your Optima conversion? Helpful hints? I'm thinking that's the way to go for my '71.
