You find a weather strip kit from your favorite parts supplier, install it and now ... YOUR DOORS WON’T CLOSE!!! What .... the .... heck?????????"

My’49 Chevy’s is so thick the door sticks out almost 3/4 inches when closed. Patrick’s had the correct thickness but I think I’ve seen on here that they have shutdown. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 281 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2020 Posts: 281 | Filling station has two sizes, one is 1/2” one 11/16”. I used the 1/2” on mine.
