Yeah, Sadly, just when you think the expensive parts (engine, bodywork, and paint) are done, you end up dumping a small fortune into WEATHERSTRIPPING of all things. For the non-originalists among us, I've found that a lot of seals can be replaced with 'stock' items out of Metro Moulded, Steele, and other catalogs that give seal cross- sections. Even (gasp, horror) JC Whitney sells some Soff-Seal stuff, and their seals are pretty good. If you're not worried about originality, and are broke, SOMETIMES you can save some $$$. When they designed the original seals, they picked one good way to do it- over the years, the rest of us have found ways to seal up a bit cheaper...
