part 2 of 2 1951 chevrolet truck updates plus headliner installing advice.

[@elyseruben4143]

FYI...That bottom weather strip does go all the way across the bottom of the door. There is a trim strip that screws in at the very bottom of the curve that holds the weather strip in. Just look in any catalog and you will see it. There are several you tube videos that show people gluing the weather strip down the side and across the bottom. Also the headliner should go in before the windlace (seal) goes on that way you won't be fighting the headliner install. Your install looks good overall.

Thank you any information is greatly appreciated!

your doors have a nice solid sound when you close it. please post a video of the door seal install and how it operates afterwards. btw, what brand door seal are you getting?

[@LanceNeves]

I got them from Classic industries, the large bowtie-looking fasteners (Clutch Head) on the striker allow for some adjustment.

@Lancetheanswer i know how they adjust. The seal is the make or break difference. Some people use steele rubber

​@@charlespartak2435 I had to bend the hinges when the door was removed to get the front edge of the door to line up with the body they will bend a lot if placed on a vice with a large enough hammer they can be bent. Before installing them in the body make sure to bend them in more than you need. Then you can use the door itself to bend them out a little at a time until it will get flush at the front. Make sure to leave it just under flush. The reason is the seal will push out on it some, I did many videos on this truck but cannot remember which one has that in it. It can do serious damage to the door and the body so when you do this never close the door until the hinge bend is somewhere in the ballpark. these door hinges are pretty tough compared to what they make today just be patient and go slow. The hardest part is removing the door. You will need some help putting it back on.
