Mid Year Coupe Door Weatherstrip Cuts

[Gary J.]

Does anyone have any pictures of the mid year coupe door weatherstrip cuts on the bottom of the doors? Looking on how they were cut originally. Thanks

Gary, if you give me a few hours I will get you a few pics of what I believe to be original w/s on my '64. I know that there is a cut at the bottom center of the coupe door, but it's been a while since I looked at them.

Gary, the first photo is of the passenger side door w/s. This cut is located at the bottom and is centered. The next three photos are from the drivers side. The first is a cut made right of center about a foot from the center cut. The next photo is of the center cut on the drivers door and the last photo is a cut located about equidistance from the center as the one on the right side. These are from a '64 coupe that was repainted in 1976 and clearly shows (overspray) that they did not remove the seals that were on there. I can't swear that these are original, but can say it is a two owner car with the original shocks and floor mats. Last owner for 45 years and only 2,300 miles logged in the last 35 years. Total mileage is 77K. I am interested in others opinions as well as helping you determine the right cuts for your w/s.

All photos need to be rotated one notch to the right. Not sure why all of my photos load incorrectly, but that's for another day.
