I posted this at the Oldeconolines site;
>>>>Well Its a done deal. I dropped of a 63 DCW at Restoration Specialties Thursday
on the way to Carlisle. They seem like really nice people and show a genuine
interest in getting all the rubber stuff made correctly. I was told they woud
look it over very closely and anything they found that was rubber they would
reproduce including door and window rubber(pop outs too) doghouse and battery
box seals,pedal seals,handle to body gaskets,vent box seals,even possibly
transmission donut gasket. I will need to send them a side step lever seal so
they can make it also since I had already removed that. I ll remind them about
the rubber radiator flap seal also. If theres anything Im forgetting,feel free
to chime in. They are even gonna make the rubber hole plugs for the no seat belt
models.
Additionally I had them bring out one of their aftermarket window channel
felt pieces and compared it to an NOS one which I brought with me. I pointed out
the problem with the studs not lining up and they very quickly said they will
now fix that since they have a good part to go off of. The part they originally
went off of was pretty beat up which may have been the problem. So that issue
will soon be fixed too.
Almost forgot, I left a few of the wide side molding clips on the vehicle too
and they will also be supplying those.
