1.) I second the motion to ditch the foam-cell-tape weathrstripping. You NEED the in-place channeling effect of proper U-shaped weatherstripping...and I've never seen the taped-side stuff look good after some time. Tends to come off too...... plus are you sure it's closed cell and not open cell anyway?

2.) with regard to the carpet material glued onto the inside surface of the door panel. Let's think this through. In a "normal" street car, it is understood and accepted that rain will run down the outer window surface, and enter the door cavity. That is why there is a plastic sheet vapor barrier placed and glued underneath the inside surface of door panel and trim....that touches the inside mounting location of such a panel. You don't have an "interior" panel,...just a massive "hole"... so that won't work, but in either case if you have up/down windows ( correct?....via strap or such?)....then water WILL collect in the inside of the door cavity and will always wet the carpet surface that is glued to the inside surface of the outer door skin. This carpet will in time always stay soaked and get moldy, not to mention what it does to the glued surface and that it might then cause door rust under the carpet. Do you then want to do this?. OR.....do you hage a "fixed" window (sorry if I missed this) with a slider window- in-a-window ....going horizontally back and forth instead? Then it might be OK as the window lower edge may be sealed or overlaps the outside door surface. SmileWavy

Hi Chris,

David in Portland here. I found some good "before pics" of the car on my computer, let me know if you want me to email them to you.

Chris,

I love the height your car is resting at. Do you know the front and rear fender arc measurements? Sorry if this data has already been mentioned prior... Great project and attention to detail!

Thanks,

Steve
