Technical Weather strip trunk channel

I am needing some weather strip channel for the trunk of my 60 olds. Its kinda difficult to make and I was wondering if anyone knows of another car that I could use one from. You can get new channel for a Camaro or Chevelle but I don't know if the weather strip is the same. I called soffseal and they were less than helpful. I know the weather strip fits all 59-60 gm but something has to be close. The channel is roughly 5/8'' x 3/4''. Thanks for anyonewho can help.

Yeah, check Steele. They had exact replacement for a 57 Star Chief.

 

do you need the metal channel or the rubber weather strip?

 

The metal channel is what I need.

With a shrinker and stretcher tool you can shape "L" shaped sheet metal and weld them together to form the channel.

 

if you have a plasma cutter friend close by, just use some small box section and cut one side off.
Did all my window channels that way.

 

the straight parts should be the same up to 67 gm the curved part will have to be olds or buick

 

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I think I will order some Chevelle straight pieces then I will just have to make the corners.
