The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Does anyone have a photograph of how the windlace is terminated at the floor?

Does it tuck under the door sill plates?

Thank you all in advance.

I do not have a photo. However, once it (windlace) gets to the floor, remove the core and glue about 1 1/2" of the material (core removed) to the floor.

As always, thank you sir.

I assume that, the flattened portion of the windlace (with the core removed) tucks under the floor mat in front and the carpet in the rear?

Photos attached.

Follow Mike's excellent instructions/directions and your windlace installation should look something like this.

Good luck and have a nice weekend.

Any chance someone has a photo of the A-pillar, door frame, and B-pillar with trim materials attached?

On the coupe I am working with, the customers car has no interior trim in place. Between the books recommended on the forum and what I can tell, it seems like a compact (u-channel style) windlace is pushed onto the metal pieces that are attached at the A-pillar and above the door frame, to finish off the headliner edge. Then, the B-pillar takes the foam core style windlace to the floor, fastened to a tack strip.

I am trying to confirm this in order to buy the proper materials, thanks.

Does this help?

The wind lace at the A pillar is under the u-channel that also serves to hold the cardboard panels in place.
