Hey guys. I am really in a crunch for time (meaning I have a few days to knock this out). I need to buy all the weatherstripping and seals for a 1969 Charger. If I can create a list to check off what is bought, it would make things smoother and easier. Thanks for your input!

there really is'nt that many, roof pillar seals, door seals, trunk seal, door window (rear) to quarter window seal, door handle seals, key lock seals, front windshield gasket, door mirror seal, hood to cowl seal, door and window rubber/steel seals (at base of window), outer window scrapers, and that's about it unless you really wanna get nit-picky.  most of the other seals can be made out of 5mil rubber and some sharp sizzors, like the door handle seals, and the key lock seals, gas cap ring to body seal, ect.....unless you have to be absoultly "correct" making them your self saves alot of $.  that's why when i pull apart a car i keep all the old seals in a box, then when it's time to order new seals i have a physical checklist!!!!  most of the time a good cleaning with mineral spirits can restore seals that are otherwise not damaged/cracked.   ;D

That is just it. I need to be nit picky and get all the small stuff too. Basically the body guys need everything ready to go so they can open packages and start assembling. Thanks for the start to the list. I added them to my checklist.

Check the bottom link. It gives you a list. I purchased mine from these guys and everything was included. Call them, they are very helpful too.

I'm not sure if the above mentioned kit has the cat whiskers but don't forget those.

It did come with the felt and cat whiskers for the doors and quarter windows. It also included the ones for the quarter windows that need to be restapled to the metal cover/window cowling. Just pull out the old staples carefully and reuse them or go to your local hardware store and buy yourself a small box with the closest size you can find - try getting "Monel" type. They will never rust. :yesnod:

Thanks! I just spoke to a guy there and it sounds super complete. He said it even comes with the bumpers for the glovebox door.
