I bought the door weather strip from Roberts and could have done better getting it from JC Whitney . It came in a roll and could have easily fit a 39 Hudson .It all would have been fine but for the 90 degree turn it makes on the front side of the door . We finally glued a piece on the pickup to meet up with that on the door . We took the cardboard top down and steamed it and put things on it to press it flat again . A friend glued headliner material (just like moms car has, color your choice) to it and replaced it. The plastic down the middle of the roof came from a Ramcharger and cut to length .Door panels were cut from masonite and covered with volure and match the roof material . My upholstery buddy made a carpet and it looks great ,but mt next one will be done using Rhinoliner like you put in the bed .The instruments came from a C-900 and look great with a functional tach . The only problem is it's a mechanical tach and a machinist helped with that trick . If Santa brings me a digital camera I'll send you pictures .
P.S.Arm rests (2) came from 2 C model Dodges found in junkyards as did the sun visors . Many parts can be found on a C-model as they made until at least until 75 .
