Where did you source the new seal ? Was it same as original profile ?
Those repoped door weatherstrip seals fit terrible (too thick ) unless they changed them .
Nice job kid

I actually found it on Ebay real cheap! There wasn't a brand name on it but it reminds me of a Soft Seal product. Exact same profile as factory.

Great job KK! Often times we open a can of worms but it had to be done and as usual you did it right!

I've been reviewing this thread again...
I forgot all about it, great read for an afternoon too...

Has it really been 10 years ?

Man you went all out, wasn't it just a cleanup & want to drive it deal, at 1st ?
no matter we all do what needs to be done, plans get thrown out & reassessed...
It turned out awesome, I 'like' bombed you a bit, I was or I am completely
impressed, how it looks, came out...

Very detailed build & photos, great job...

Installing Jack Instructions

Bought one from Joe Shusy while attending Chryslers at Carlisle. The '62s were made of cardboard and glued on with what looks like yellow adhesive.

Looks too white IMO

Let's age it a little.

Much better.

Now it looks like it's been there awhile.

Kid did Joey have a big spread @ Carlisle ?
No one has posted video of his parts there and I’m surprised what it looks like .

Mine feels like paper, or is it thin cardboard that feels like paper?

I think it looked like it has in the past. His son was doing most of the work. (Good guy) Joe was talking to someone while I was there but I did stop and shake his hand and say hi. His son told me Joe's on a good diet and is doing really well.

It's ridged. If you hold one end of it, it doesn't droop. There's the thinner paper ones out there also that already has adhesive on them. That's supposedly the newer vehicles that had changed to the thin paper. Not sure what year the change was made.
