You know it!
I never thought the day would come.
I held off until I got the mechanicals sorted out (almost there) but when I scraped the car I had no choice.
Perhaps a Freudian slip???

Just got off the phone w/ the painter.
Z will be cut and buffed today. Tomorrow he will assemble the car. He asked me for Wednesday pick up just in case.
I got a set of GM roof panel weatherstrip (did not want to take a chance) and a set of door weatherstrip from "Melrose T-Top" (thank you David and George. I am really impressed w/ Melrose product. Maybe I will replace garbage halo weatherstrip (prdered from e-bay and really disappointed) and A pillar w/ Melrose. 2 weeks in a rental is killing me!

I just checked the Melrose t-top catalog and its funny the picture on page 18 of the catalog where they list the C4 weatherstrip http://www.melroset-tops.com/melrose_catalog.pdf

shows the same photo as http://www.corvette-rubber.com/8489door.shtml

so it would seem that melrose sells corvette rubber products.

What did you pay at melrose I wonder if its cheaper or more than corvette rubber.
