Just went out and looked at again, overall it turned out pretty good. I think I am going to let it sit for awhile before I attempt to cut and buff it. I will cut it (wet sand) before spraying the black.

Anyone have advice on where to get weather stripping and window sweeps. I googled them and there are a variety of sources, just wondering if anyone has any placed to or not to go.

That green, and black highlights were just meant for each other!

I just viewed the pictures again.  Did anyone else notice the lights from heaven above shining on this rebirth?  I'm looking forward to watching your next stage.

Awesome job on the body work and paint!  I wish I had the skills and patients to pull something like that off.   :  Keep up the good work.

Looking good from here.    lol
 

I used Metro brand weatherstripping and like it.

Thanks all

I am looking at the metro site, looks like ok stuff.

Mike, door rubbers that are on the gutter strip, for glass seal, research this, I think I have metro but they don't fit like the originals, the originals pressed into the gutter trim, metro have to be glued on and they don't fit well, I've not used mine BUT , someone on here has been down this path before, I'm kinda flat out at present but need to search it, someone else might chime in, Metro are good but for some reason the 72-74 Cuda rubbers are odd

Thanks Greg. I haven't bought anything yet, I need weathers stripping, all the rubber bumpers (hood, trunk, etc). I am also going to get all new door hardware, window felts and I am sure many other things along the way.

Just catching up on the CC restoration threads.  Your paint looks great!  I also recently bought a DeVilbiss Finish Line paint gun but so far haven't painted anything except accessories!  I hope my body paint work comes out as nice as yours when I get brave enough to try it.

Thanks, start small and stay focused. The hardest part is understanding how what you do will look when finished. Therefore, focus on a small area and use some cheap spray paint to get an idea or better yet get some primer  from eBay or the local auto parts store and spray it with your new gun. You don't have to paint he whole thing, just enough to give you and idea of your body work.

Just got the window sweeps and weather stripping from Roseville, the sweeps are Tops and the weather stripping is Super soft. Not sure how it will fit, but I am sure I will find out. It looks good, but the proof is in the installation
