The Ford Barn

Ok, as my rebuild continues on my 1934 3 window, everyone realizes that to use the old window and door seals / strips is not the right way to go.
So, does anyone on here know of a company or companies that reproduce - accurately - correct rubber seals for the 1934 Ford 3 window coupes?

Besides the door seals, I need the windshield, rear window, door window and rumble lid seals.
I have been told that the rumble lid never had a seal because of the way it is designed to allow water to drain down and out the bottom but I think it would help keep dust out. Especially after I have invested over $3.50 in this rebuild.

I want to keep as much of the outside elements out as possible. Yeah, I already have been told to just use a tube or two of silicon seal but that ain't gonna cut it on this rebuild.

Thank you.

Check out Drake and Carpenter...everything you need should be available. Also, there is a seal for the rumble seat lid that fits in the recess in the lid. It's a square shape.

I believe Carpenter makes the best rubber seals, etc.
