A very large needle is needed to pull all 4 strings through the upholstery, foam & backing. You might need vise-grips to pull the strings through.

How to install your '66 big car inner fender trim correctly. It'll work both ways, so put the lip behind the radiator core and screw it in from the back.

Use the depth gauge feature on your caliper to measure the height of your qjet primary rod arms - get 'em equal for consistent side to side fuel metering.

Reproduction seals don't leak and don't seem to make noise. Are they right from what you can see here?

Nudge this forward 1/8" to tighten the door-to-A_Pillar seal? Or does this look right?

Start fresh from factory? Or do more seals usually help reduce noise?

Do additional seals reduce noise? These are oversize and there's one extra in search of minimum wind noise. Is it time to start fresh from factory?

Steele part is thicker and slightly bigger, but a cruder casting. This is the front of the driver's side front window molding. Metro is a better looking part, but a bit smaller.

Steele piece has thicker rubber where the vent window meets the convertible top and interface is longer too.

I'm hoping the thicker rubber casting of the Steele piece will create a better seal against my convertible windows.

Some of the wind noise in convertibles can be attributed to where the top, vent window and windshield all come together. A good seal here should help quiet things down.

Metro has a higher quality casting, but thickness of Steele may perform better.

Bulbs labeled and organized so they're easy to find when you need 'em. Notes to me on the lid so I don't have to look it up every time.

The thin metal and nylon tip parts of the shifter are very susceptible to wear/breakage. I usually put the car in neutral to remove the T handle.

Notice the shape differences in the shape of the grease fittings. Latter day parts may still show these differences.
