I had all the original window stainless polished so it looks alot better. He did use the rear window trim as a guideline when he installed the rear1/4's.We did talk about the possible build up of paint on the drip rail where the stainless goes. I did buy all new weather strip so yes probably will be tight for a while. Luckily he lives 3 houses down from me...I keep all the misc stuff in my garage so as to not clog up his place. He got the gaps pretty good,,,the fender to door gaps were way off before. We put in all new body mounts before doing anything. Pulled the motor and transmission and freshened them. So after it's painted, the engine goes back in and a cut and buff. Put all the glass back in, new carpet,moldings,seats,etc. Install call-outs and the 69 judge stripes. New mufflers also as one has a rust hole. It's not going to be perfect,but pretty nice Im hoping/ thinking. So doing this all in spare time it takes awhile. In December he'll had it a year already. I really don't want it to leave his garage until it's completely done. He's got some other projects that need to be done so my car will be put on hold after it's painted.Getting new headliner and rear package tray professionally installed in 2 weeks. Upholstery guy preferred not to have it painted when he does his work.
