Old Man,

You hit the nail right on the head.  See attached picture of the Rain Gutter that Mac's AutoParts sells.  And they also have the Hidem strips.

Many, many, thanks,  Chet...

Here are some pics of the nearly completed roof frame work. I am just about ready to attach the top.

The pics you guys posted were fantastic! Thank you so much.

The car came with a piece of 3/16" foam and some outer material. (see pic)

Looking at all the pics it looks like jute was used for a liner in the old days. I think it would work better then the foam.
What do you think?
Do you know if it is still available?

Any additional info. is, of course appreciated.

Thanx again

Here's one more.
Many pics but I figured they may help.
If anyone has any questions or knows where I can get some jute, please let me know.

Whoops!

I screwed up and sent a pic of my wife and young daughter in last post by mistake! Sorry.

I talked to a resto-guy today and he said the 3/16" foam is better then using jute.
Since he is booked till June he asked me to bring the car in and he would give me tips on the installation.
Will keep you posted on the progress if there is any interest.
Thanks again for the great tips.
