Trbomax,
That is great and it definitely still looks good.  Is there anything between the inside door lip and the jams?

The door just closes into the door frame.It is an "s" shaped step.I reshaped and closed up all the gaps when I made the molds for the body and since the body was molded in one piece,door frames,jambs and all,there was no adjust met allowed for. The door is made with a molded inner and an outer skin which are bonded together IN THE OUTER SKIN MOLD,makeing it a totally ridged structure also. The doors do fit tighter than a stock 28,about 3/16" all around. When the inside trim panels are fastened down the push the windcord out against the inner door surface.For this reason you dont want to use too large of a dia foam rod when you make them. Actually they might be more conformable if a rubber or vynal tube was used instead of foam rod.I can try to get better pics inside the jambs if you want.

Munch, I used a foam windcord/windlace on a 1938 Plymouth pickup about 30 years ago. I bought it from a vendor at a car show, by the foot. He had many colors and it was covered in a fabric not vinyl. I would think a quick Google search should get us just what we need. Thanks Trbomax, I guess that's how I will go.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Found this on ebay. It looks exactly what I used on my Plymouth. It's a little pricey, an in-depth seach may turn up a better choice.

Good info thanks for posting.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
