Re: My winter project

I managed to mess up my window sweeps on the driver side when putting them together, kind of a pain but I have a few more thing off my assemby list.

I went with the same door panel setup on my 1970. Hate all of the woodgrain of the 1972 CST/Cheyenne Super, but like the scroll pattern with the stainless trim insert.

Re: My winter project

Thanks again guys. I'm on the backorder list for side trim so that won't be getting installed anytime soon. Trying to find a glass shop the wants to mess with a windshied install. Jim, the paint stuff came from a craft/hobby store.
