    Snowhomish

    Yeah it's really spelled Snohomish but pronounced the same way and we have had 3' of snow on the ground before but it really should be called Rainomish!

    Doors and fenders on

    Well the doors and fenders are done and on, now comes the fun of putting all that stuff back inside the doors. I think install wing windows and door glass has to be one of my least favorite things to do. I also have to figure out what to do about the "FAKE" vent windows on the rear doors, no rubber available and mine is really bad so if anyone has any ideas I am open. I have been thinking of making a mold and seeing if I can find some type of rubber that is used in molding rubber parts so if you guys know of anything please let me know. I have tried Steele Rubber and even if they made an extrusion die it would be a year or more before they got to it. Seems like these days water jetting a die like that would be pretty fast and cheap but what do I know, haha.

    Incredible (huge) project but your attention to detail should make for a really fine ride when finished.

    I don't know where to post this so I will do it here. Does anyone know where you can get rubber u channel for the stationary rear door "fake" wing windows? Every place I call has a crazy minimum order and Steele Rubber, Dennis Carpenter, etc. aren't interested in making the acutual gasket so I am stumped. It's not that complicated, 3/8" wide by 3/16" glass channel, any help is greatly appreciated, Tim.

    Tim,
    Have you tried Restoration Specialties?
    They have many different styles/cross-sections that fit almost everything.

    Have you found anybody with interior door panels, I have a 63 Fairlane Squire, also rear folding seat covers. Seems they only have 2dr bucket interior stuff.

    Door panels

    No I haven't found any source for the door panels, all mine are being custom made which any upholstery shop can do but I know it's too bad that the aftermarket hasn't figured out how many of us wagon owners are out there.
