Vendor/supplier WARNING!



Try  http://www.restorationspecialties.com/

They have an online (downloadable) catalog.  They carry weather-strips,
other rubber parts, and body fasteners for a LOT of cars.

My guess is that quite a few "vendors" go to them for supplies.  The plus
is, you probably won't have to wait six months for some "exclusive"
home-based parts guy to fill your order.
