    Alrighty then; how do I replace the wood staple strip inside the metal bow that sits inside the rain gutter? The bow is in good shape (no pun intended).

    GStage1 Always looking for parts!

    Should not be wood. It is a pressboard type material. You need to use a hard plastic/rubber for the insert. Your top shop should have this item. You just remove/dig out the old stuff and press in the new rubber.

    I have so many things going on with it; yet, nothing is quite ready to show.

    The body work (except for the painting and trim) is done.
    The engine is in parts, I have most of the parts to put back together, except the pistons.
    The brake system is done, except for the front brake booster, master cylinder and lines to the front calipers
    I didn't start the interior yet, except for temporarily installing the dash.

    Here is where I am to date.
