Agree on all fronts - that car is absolutely beautiful. Well done, C.Bennett!! It's very clear that you put a lot energy into that car.

That's very kind. Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.
Glad to report my hands are fully intact after a deep detail of my knife-like driver door. Yep, detailed to within an inch of its life. Removed all of the sticky yellow glue (nightmare job) and it's all ready for a new black finishing strip. I may also refinish (yellow zinc) the handle bracket. It's not as nice as I'd like it to be, but hey. And no, the plastic door membrane and all that awful sticky glue is staying off the car. It doesn't get driven in rain, so I'm keen to keep it pretty in there.
I also included a photo of my passenger door as a "before" reference. It's next.

With the door interior exposed, you might want to change the window wipes to the Ford Probe version. It's a great upgrade and if the originals fail, they will scratch the window ... As I know from personal experience.
Here are some details but the pictures are missing: https://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/windowfelt.html
Has anyone found workable trim from a car other than the Probe? Probes can be few and far between in the junk yards.

- No matter how many people believe in a dumb idea ... it is still a dumb idea!
- Some cars look fast. Some cars look faster than time!
- The question is not "where did the time go" but rather "where to go in time".
