    Mine are missing, new ones are $150 or more based on the supplier, plus the shipping which we all have seen has gone through the roof. The half-assed pics of repros don't show them installed. You know where this going, right? I wanna make some and the task will be easier to sort out if I can see them in place. Thanks in advance, as always...

    Mine are missing too. I'd also like to see a set installed.

    these? We had to make some for a 39 Woody, Bought some alum channel stuff at Home depot and a roll of 37 Ford door sill welting-worked out well and closed gap at bottom of doors. Looked like this on woody. carpet then went in channel and rubber flap sealed against door

  4. I bet you that would work on some other cars as well. Thanks for the shove in the right direction.

    Ok 'scrounge, that clears it up and similar to what I was thinking. I actually have some stock to play with. Who's got an OEM or repro set installed?

    My 40 has em installed--they are the repops-the ones we made worked out well-made a set also for a 37 and 40 Woody as there are none available. We just rounded off the sq edge of the channel a bit to make em look a bit better. On one we used some rubber we found on ebay as well.
