Nice. Are those Daniel Carpenter windows that you used?
Oh man I need you to come to my garage and do my car trim too. Car is looking real good.Okay, I got most everything put back together, but it was time to address those drip rail moldings. I also had to paint the seat belt items that mount to the black portion on the inside panels.
Here are the drip rail moldings and the seat belt parts.

As you can see someone tried to paint these before, but did not prep them properly. Now, for those who do not know, as I did not know.....these are made of aluminum, but have a small piece of rubber mounted to the top that meets the body/painted surface. It looks like these are dipped in some type of rubberized material to get them to look even/like one piece. I did not know this and got over zealous with my sanding and busted through the area where the aluminum meets the rubber. Ooops @$&*$##. Time to do some filler work.

Spot I busted through has been body worked and primed. Came out great considering I put a hole in it LOL. Sorry, I didn't take a picture of the hole. I was very pissed at the time LOL....

Both drip rail moldings painted with the trim paint. They look brand new.

I ran out of time and day light. So, installation of these will have to wait until next weekend.

I bought a set. The studs are a total fail. The glass and the perimeter "rubber" - top notch.I have seen videos of guys who have coupes and use the Daniel Carpenter QTR windows. They like having the Mustang logo, but are not happy with how the studs are mounted.
@Black Gold 380R man I really need to swap out my notch quarter glass windows.. someone decided to etch snakes into them. I hate it with a passion.

Really? Etched snakes?? I swear, some people should not be allowed to own Mustangs.
I'm not sure what the fix is for the Notch backs. From my research Daniel Carpenter made the replacements for the Notch backs (i.e. coupes) and the build quality, when it comes to the studs, is no good.

If you zoom in you’ll see it.. I hate it lol.
That's a lot of work you've done already. My 93 reef hatch quarter window molding is sticking out some from the body on the top. But I personally don't want to mess with it unless it's a original window with the "mustang" logo.Damn... I thought it was going to be a 1 or 2 inch etch next to the Mustang lettering. Not that huge thing. Holy crap. Yeah, I can see why you don't like it.
It’s not a cobra, and I’m not one to pretend it’s something it’s not. Always hated that. I won’t say the kind of person who owned it before me all I’ll say is the tail lights were chrome, and it had 1 piece headlights. LmfaoooDamn...

Someone needs to get that guy a tissue! I wonder if the studs can be reinforced with epoxy or something else? The glass and finish of the product looks good.Really? Etched snakes?? I swear, some people should not be allowed to own Mustangs.

After seeing the snakes, Dan, I totally get why you want them gone. Hopefully you'll find some proper replacement glass sooner than later.

They’re horrible, I’m not entirely sure why someone would do such a thing. In the unlikely event Someone wants those bad boys I’ll be sure to send them to them for free haha. I’ll just need to get replacements first.After seeing the snakes, Dan, I totally get why you want them gone. Hopefully you'll find some proper replacement glass sooner than later. Awesome Notch!
