roadsters had nothing if you measure the first step in the jamb you can see there is very little room for a seal.
Shine, you get the prize!! Yesterday I called Duane at N&N to pick his brain a bit on some "fit & finish" options, one being weatherstripping. After talking a bit he shared that on the '33 he built & sold he had not used any weatherstip, and the windlace and carpet edging did everything needed for wind noise & dust. Let's the doors shut much easier, too. Based on that discussion I pulled all of the weatherstripping off of my door openings, re-adjusted the bearclaw posts tighter, and I think it's the answer for me. If I choose to run it in the future the '33/34 is different from the deuce doors, and there's no place for a bottlom seal to fit. Goes to show that like Dave said, they're all different, and ya' gotta find what works case by case.
