Dave You're certainly setting the standards very high for yourself and your team this time around.
In an earlier picture you showed the trunk weather-strip with a considerable amount of glue squeeze out. In your opinion would it meet your "goal" leaving areas like this untouched? Would the glue not dis-colour and dry out over the past 38 years? To achieve a "brand new" 1970 look, should this glue squeeze out be replaced with new fresher looking glue?
In today's standards of OE judging when someone restores a car and copies squeeze out and other messy attributes of their original car, at least the glue looks new and matches the entire feel of the project.
To get your latest project away from the "cleaned up survivor" status and into the "brand new car" status, areas like this glue squeeze out will have to be address in my opinion, but....
I think you would be crazy to try and remove the weather-strip and try to re-glue it.....
This question can be asked about many areas of the car.
What are your thoughts on this particular area of your project????
