1966 Dodge Dart
I finished all the polishing of the trim parts for the drivers outside. I spent quite a bit of time today polishing and got all but the drip rail back onto the car. I started a thread in the trim section to see what will make that rail go on the easiest. Its super tight and I dont want to put any dents in it on the way back on. I also put the drivers door seal in place. The seal is really pushing hard against the door so I might end up having to make the latch a little tighter although Im hoping the seal will relax some and compress allowing the door to go back into alignment!. Everything else fit pretty well. I had to grind a slight bit off the rear quarter window trim so the trim would go in far enough. The front door trim fit great and the inner upper trim looks like it will fit nicely as well. I had to order the drip rail rubber so I left that one loose because its going to be easier to off the car. Here are a few pics from today with everything on.
I the photo above Im not sure if i need to trim that door seal hanging down or if it tucks in under the interior trim piece. Im thinking it will need trimmed.
This is the billet gas cap that one of the members here sell. Its a super nice fit. Im thinking im going to leave it the natural material look at this point. I also have a stock cap that is painted white. But all the stock caps leak gas and the billet cap is suppose to not allow a leak.
This pic above shows how straight the lower door trim and quarter trim are. Im very happy with them.
Lower pic shows the new door seal. It has the edge of the door pushed out about 1/16th. Im hoping it collapses some.
I'll tackle the drip rail once someone answers the thread I started.
Thanks for following
