SS383 Build - 33 Hot Rod #1134

So I’ve been working on the door guides. The manual is a bit off as some of the measurements are still Gen 1. The 3/8 and 1/2 from a baseline is not enough for the aluminum strips which need more like 1.25 in.

If you look closely you can see in pencil where the opening show up compared to the manual measurements. Since the aluminum pieces have to fit a certain way, I’m going to go with the opening required by these pieces.

Most of the difference is at the front edge.
I found that if you tape the aluminum trip pieces together and turn them upside down on the opposite door you can see how they can fit. You can see the passenger side pieces upside down on the drivers door below.

Also I found that the 19in trim dimension on the window track is not quite enough because of the aluminum. Looks like 18.75 or maybe a little less to clear the trim and the seal.
