C-1 (but 56-58) Conv top W/S ?

[Mick Fuson]

Hi all, I'm about ready to tear into the top for my 58 resto, and need to know if there is a source for the "correct" cloth covered (bowdrill?) weatherstripping. Or am I going to have to go with the later, rubber, style?
Thanx a bunch, Mick

You can buy the bowdrill tape to cover the rubber.

Jim : Thanx so much. Guess to build this thing really correct , one must "build" the weaterstrips by hand in this manner ?? Will give them a call and order today. Hope that the "normal" yellow weatherstrip glue holds well enough ?? If there's a better glue for this application please let me know .

Again Thanx Mick

Mick, You have mail. *NM*

Jim, could you send me the same mail on the bowdrill? I'll be there sooner or later. Thanks Ted
