These pic's, right, wrong, or other, is just what I decided to do. Question is, do I post them in this thread or is there a better, more preferred, or other to post. Not very tech savvy. Any suggestions? Russell #38868 '48 4 door Fleetline

Does anyone have any pictures of what the correct weatherstripping should look like when it is installed on the bottom of the front door for a 1948 2 door fleetmaster? thankyou

However, e-mail me your e-mail and I will sent you a couple of pictures with measurements that I think will help. Click on ruscar to find my e-mail. Russell #38868 '48 4 door Fleetline
