    For gaskets use a stock gasket cut down and glued together with krazy glue. You can eliminate the center post by making the gl*** a little wider so it ****s together, and seal the seam with clear sealer. This is an old Kustom trick from the fifties.

    For the doors you will have to relocate the front channel that the gl*** slides in, and make suitable gl***.

    I just spent the last few weeks installing all the chopped gl*** in my '50. Just last week we did the front windshield. I made a cardboard template leaving 1/8" in the center to fill with black 3M bedding compound. The back window was laid as stock into the new chop angle. I made template for the rear side 1/4 gl***, door gl*** and the wing windows. I can provide pics of specifics if necessary .For now I have in my file the windshield pics. Also a pic of the vertical center rubber I cut out from the stock weatherstripping.
