1972 Duster Build with my Daughter

The new weatherstrip is on. It was a bit of a challenge but just use some dish soap and windex as lube.

Kaelyn polished up the hardware and installed it.

The white foam does on the bottom rail and the Butyl strips go over the latch.

Some 4mm x 20 mm rivets were installed then a hammer peened over the blob on the back so it was nice and flat.

After that we slid them in and bolted them down!

The door weatherstrip was next...

Note that in the front upper corner is this locking tab. You have to cut slide a hole so it can come through and then you bend it over. This helps hold the corner that could easily be pulled out.
