The guy is an old body man and he thinks it is straight and filler free.

Very nice!!!! How did the trim sit on the rear window? I was told 3/8ths is the correct ribbon seal for my back glass. With your 5/16 is the trim nice and flat, down towards glass a bit or up? THANKS!

Relooked this morning. There is a small gap between the glass and the trim most of the way around. It was so small I did not notice it till now.

Thanks for the update, so 1/16th thicker tape won't be far off. One less thing for me to re-source!

Traded emails with Bo at Copper State Classics where I got my glass. A friend of his just acquired an original '69 Charger R/T Hemi 4-Speed car with 29,000 miles. Bent a valve 40+ years ago and has been sitting ever since..... Guy wants to start at $135k as it sits.....

No that is more in @Billccm 's price range, plus it needs someone to work on it

FRAZTOG!

Found out these were suppose to have colored plastic insert which makes more sense. I through the grove around the edges was weird but that was where the plastic snapped in! There are no known reproductions so I improvised.

Acrylics in a close enough color for the first stage...

Then I mixed up some SPI Universal Clear Polyurethane and did a Pour....

Final result was HOLY FRAZTOG BATMAN!
