    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.

    Tim I contacted them about making the correct doghouse gaskets for early chevy's and they were very open and very good to deal with

    Hi Tim,

    I've used Restoration Specialties and Supplies for my Ford Falcons.
    They were very helpful and even custom-made a set of window
    channels for me. Their work was very good. Thank you for
    pursuing this, as I will definitely benefit from it for my Econoline!

    Im not sure how long this all will take but they seem eager to provide quality stuff for us which we have needed for a very long time. Terry Turner started this a while back, I just picked up the ball and ran with it to do my part. Afterall, I need a ton of stuff myself.
