Great thread; sure like to thank everybody that has posted for the info; learned a lot.
While we are thinking about trunk stuff; I would like to raise a question I had earlier.
The '35-'36 book states that there is a weather strip in the body channel and another in the lid.
I was kinda hoping the pictures in posts 2, 3, and 7 would help; but there does not appear to be any weatherstrip on the body side.
Anyway, my question is how the body side weatherstrip is handled around the drain holes?
Rich,
The weatherstripping I removed from the body around the trunk was laid completely over the drain holes. As a matter of fact, I didn't realize there were drains there until I removed the weather stripping. I had not stripped the interior at that point, so the rear trunk board was still in place hiding the drain tubes. Hope this helps answer your question.
