From what I have seen there is only one vender that has the best fuzzes. And they are not perfect on the rear window. Problem is I don't remember who that was I got mine from.Before you finish up the dash, did you put the jute padding in the go's up on the top of the fire wall? It just came out from Detroit Muscle Tech.

I recieved a set of seals from Topcat this week, a much better quality kit. Vender was Dixie restoration.
Unfortunatly the rear on one side is defective. They didn't install the mounting clips. Fit on the other outer pieces is perfect.
I'll call them Monday and see how they are with customer service.
I bought the Mega kit from Detroit Muscle and all the insulation also,very nice kit and great to deal with.

Great! Im glad somebody found good ones, now I can get some for my car. Did you get the early-longer ones or the late-shorter ones? I wonder why they have 2 different ones for the same car?

I had to get the longer ones to cut down. These were a much better set than the first ones.
My car is a very early car and needs the shorter ones.

What is the difference between the sizes? How do you know which ones to get?

The rear inners are shorter on some models I just trimed them down to match. All the outers fit like a glove for me.
The decision was made for me as they only had the longer ones in stock and I needed them ASAP. :lol:

Been a while again but things are starting to come together. Tommorow it go's for front end alignment then back for final touches.
Radiator is still at repair shop for recore so I installed one a friend had laying around.
Lots of detailing and small things to do but on the road after tomorrow.ImageImageImageImage
