I got him beat at 38,800 views. It's nice to see a car actually approaching the finish line in a restoration. I'm not even half way there yet!

Got the Steele Rubber Door seals in today and put them on.........No comparison between the seals ....these things "Fit".....they have the little metal screw tab as do the factory seals and they came with instructions that were very clear......even the Trunk Seals have a detailed Instruction sheet showing the correct way to Install the seals........How many times have you gone to a show and noticed the trunk seals installed incorrectly......all it takes it a little piece of paper to show the First timer......Thumbs Up to Steele for a Quality product



The Door actually shut............


Then there's this nonsense......It was too easy to just order simple stuff like a Windshield Washer Hose Kit...it was $14 and some times it's just too much trouble to run to the parts store for evert little thing so I ordered one.......I went in the basement and brought it up to install and when I opened the package, this is what I found........I feel sorry for you guy's that do this for a living, my patience level is at an end for these guy's that sell this "Junk"......Open another box that came today that should have had a Radio Speaker and Antenna that I was promised was in stock and "No Speaker" (Back Ordered) and they sent a Rear mount Angled Antenna......I'll be glad when I don't have to deal with these "Liars" anymore.....here's my Washer Hose Kit......(A little short????)......Not even funny




Ken

It still amazes me today with our technology and demands that so many of the suppliers make junk. Little details are missed as are huge ones. I say it over and over again, you are paying a tool and die designer to sit there at a drafting table to design the tooling to make the part. It takes no more effort or money to do it EXACT the first time instead of half ass especially when they normally have an NOS part right in front of them to take measurements from. I am always told the same thing, "you are the only one that has complained". The resto parts business is in the billions, why can't they make them correct?

Looking good Ken, you are almost there. Just last night going through this thread I asked myself why (I) did not buy that 396 4-speed Biscayne I posted instead of letting someone else have it. What a sweet ride that would have been. Plus I could have parked next to you at the shows.
