New Balls & Rubbers - 05/01/2003

Got new rubber seals for all the windows, the doors and the rear tire compartment from Vintage Imparts. And also, I didn't know this, the hinges on the rear doors are ball hinges. One of the balls was missing from mine. Olaf at Vintage got them as well as the pins.

The right door had to have the whole inner edge rebuilt. It doesn' t show well in the pics but the front and rear end had been bang a bit, looks like more than once, but not a lot, just dings in the front. The back had been nailed a couple times, probably why the original chrome bumpers were changed to angle iron and wood.

The interior is the same ivory as the top. The pictures show the ivory on bit on the yellow side. The interior shot, drivers door color is the truest.
