Thanks!

Been away too long here. Gonna try and update with pictures, and any help to others what I came across, and help from the members here as well. I did get to hear my car fire after MANY years of being dormant. It is almost done Need a picture for the roof rail seal, how it goes behind the rear 1/4 glass. Is there extra seal that just is back there and how much? First of all, my seal, BRAND new, is the wrong one. Been in contact of the manufacturer only for them to say it is on back order didn't know it was a big deal to them but obviously, it might be since it is going on 3 weeks now.

Here are a couple of the photos you asked for. Does this show you what you need?

Just went to garage and looked. The passenger side on my car is original and the end of the seal is about 4 inches long and just sort of hangs there. I replaced the driver side some years ago and the end of that seal is probably 4 inches shorter. btw, those pics look like the fender splash/support and fender.

rradar, you're talking about the roof rail seal, right? That's what the seal was, hanging behind the 1/4 window

Eric-that's the right hand side, correct? Yes, that helps. I do have those inner, forward plates but haven't snapped the goofy "question mark" looking seat to them.

Also, there are some big "masticated" material that I need to "jog" the memory where those go to as well. I purchased a whole kit of them but can't seem to remember where all went.

Thanks guys

More picture will follow soon

Yeah, it seals the windows correct? I'll try to get pic tomorrow. I'm running around without the outside seals, so you can see the "tail" end.

Cool, thanks!

This side was unmolested (original). I still need to get outside seal. I'm waiting for the bottom piece of rear window trim to magically appear I guess and a few other things that got put near the bottom of things to do list.

I replaced the driver side with one of these.

Thanks rrdar! I have the exact same one but it was made wrong and waiting "to be made". The one I got had a extra plastic "tit" (no pun intended) that didn't match and it fit loosely in the roof rail channel.

Looks like that seal goes beyond and the 1/4 glass seals meets up to it. I wonder how much is left beyond where all of them meet (roof rail). A couple of guys said it goes beyond 3-4" past or rearward of the glass.

I'd say about 4 inches is right. The end isn't attached to anything.

If you look closely at the pic, you can see where the end is. I know the passenger side was never replaced (bought the car new).

Thanks rrdar. That's what I thought but wasn't sure

More pictures of the underside. With the engine I wanted to put in, I put torque boxes on m car. No, it didn't come with them which in a way, was kinda surprising. Yes, the pictures are old but there again, this car has taken a lot of time, $$$, and patience. I didn't want to rush and get it done. I wanted to build it my way.

The car being transported to our friend who is a paint and body guy. We did the majority of the body work with advice on what to do when needed.

The frame connectors look good as do the torque boxes.
Did you install front torque boxes?
