Rope caulk should work well for this. You can buy it at auto
paint supply shops. Its basicly the same product as Moortite, that you will find
at Home Depot, except its black instead of gray. You'll find this used in such
places as the outside corners of the windshield trim & at least on the
60, its used where the tail lights mount to the body.

Subject: IML: Flightsweep birdbath
I am about to start working on the flightsweep deck lid,
removing the center hub and trim ring to repair any rust which I am sure
is there. My question is, does anyone out there have any ideas on how to
seal this area to prevent water intrusion between the hub, and the trunk
lid? I thought about laying down a bead of silicone, but think it will
become messy looking with wax build up, etc., and a rubber gasket would
also look bad. Any ideas would be appreciated, as I would like to keep the
birdbath in the hub rather than under
it! I'd also like to put my pennies
worth into the thread about Chrysler reintroducing the Imperial. I say it
had it's glorious past, and it would never be the car it used to be, so it
should remain a collectors item. Look at the reintroduced 1991 Imperials,
sorry for those that have them, but they really don't deserve to have the
Imperial name on them. Chrysler is turning out some of the best full size
cars I've seen today, but to turn out an Imperial, they are going to have
to come up with something really special. Just take a look at the new Ford
Thunderbird, which is a horrible retro style! Why is Detroit so afraid to
put fins on a car once again? The new Thunderbird has all the elements of
a 1956 or 1957 T-Bird, but completely looses my interest due to the lack
of fins. Now if Chrysler came out with a retro styled Imperial looking
like the 1957-1959 fins and all, in a downsized version, this might be
exactly the car I could sink my teeth into! Bill '59
