I am building a Custom Pro street Cuda and we shaved, welded, and smoothed the roof rain sills. What company door / window seals would be the best to use for my application. Thank you in advance.

We did this years ago on my brother-in-law's car. We used the factory weather-strip channels with the thin stainless trim painted black and no drip rail moldings obviously .

Does it seal well? My buddy did his years ago and used a more modern cars seal that seals very well, He can't remember what make or model they used.

Using the factory weather-strip it seals as good as the factory....I'm not sure how you would attach modern weather-strip  :dunno:
