Hey guys im new to this site i just bought a 1965 Datsun and im in love.. i Have always had classic cars but nothing like this one. Im an automotive painter, and do restoration work, builing this car for me to keep and was wondering if stuff like weather stripping is something that can be found new for this car. i already took the car to the body shop im now working for and the car already started to get torn down to start body work, i will get some pics tomorrow of whats going on..

here it is the first day at the new home
(i know the spikes have to go i need to find the hood molding)

i cant wait to get it on the road...
