    Here are the actual yellow rubber side walls bonded to the tire. Just the front mounted. I'm very happy the way they turned out

    Engine bay wiring competed. Had to rip out all the previous wiring for factory ecu since I switched over to the Holley Terminator X system. It's absolutely wonderful for those that are on the fence.

    Is there a weatherstrip seal on the aft door jam vertical pinch weld? If so where would I be able to buy one? Thanks

    Can you take a photo of the area in question? What you're referring to might be called "door jamb windlace". I don't know if there's any reproduced specifically for our big cars, but we might find a substitute if we're thinking of the same thing.

    The generic stuff looks like this, just enough to cover the sharp edge of the weld, and it comes in different colors with a bit of texture/grain:

    P.S. enjoy seeing your progress.
