I noticed the weatherstrip for my doors i got from Softseal via Classic industries has small white knobs that are supposed to fit in the holes in the door. In my case the holes are too large. is there any way to use some kind of nut to hold it on from the inside, or do i have to glue the strip to the door Thanks

I found these trim plates hiding in a basement for the last 23 years...but I am not sure what year invader they came from, or a poss. value on them. They are in really nice shape{worthy of restoration}, not a lot of pitting, some clips still on them! Any help is great...thanx in advance. Kat

I'm just getting started on replacing the passenger side floor pan on my '66 canso. I'm using a full length pan that runs from the firewall to the rear seat pan. I'm wondering if I need to be concerned about the car experiencing any twisting once I have the pan removed? I have the car on stands right now...
