Thanks, guys.   :)  More progress.  Drip rail and weatherstrip mouldings around the door have been installed, and the weatherstrip around the doors finally installed.  With that finished, I was able to install the quarter windows.  Once installed, I was able to try to get the door glass aligned with the weatherstrip and quarter window.  It's not being very cooperative, but like so much of this project, I will get it sorted, eventually. 


Carpet installation was next, and I wanted to move the car back from the lift so I could get the doors opening fully without hitting the lift.  Parking brake was off and the lift arms were moved out of the way, but when I went to push it back a couple feet, I could not get the car to move.  I nearly wore myself out, but it would not budge.  It rolled in between the lift posts just fine, but now won't move. 


That evening, I was watching a YouTube video, and the guy was loading an old car onto the car hauler, and mentioned that he had to make sure the car was out of gear.  A lightbulb went off in my head.  Was it still in Park?  It had never been an issue before, but this was the first time the car had been moved with an entire driveline since I acquired it in 2014.  The next morning, I got back to work on it.  Yes, it was in Park.  Moved it to neutral, and it rolled back the few feet I needed with no problem.  DOH!!!


With the doors open wide, I was able to get the carpet installed.  Like so much of this project, it was a first time installing carpet, and I was working alone.  It could have turned out better.  It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good and I'm happy with it.

I also got the windlace and window trim attached to the interior quarter panels, so I had to poke them in place, just to see.  Once I get the window lining up together, I can put those interior quarter panels in for final, and also the rear seats.

Making progress, slowly, but surely.
