Window rubber

[fljab@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I've got my 390 American apart for a full restomod.  I'm not getting too crazy with it, just fixing and cleaning up everything and adding AC with original parts I've been scrounging for a couple of yrs now.  

I can find most things I need at various vendors, but there are a couple of things I'd like to see what some of you think.  

My car is a '69 Rambler (American - the name was dropped after the '68 model yr) base 2 dr sedan.  I cannot seem to find the rear window rubber.  You can find the hardtop rubber, but not the sedan.  Ideas?  I haven't removed it yet and will reuse the original if need be, but it's 35 yr old rubber, I'd rather not even tho it's in pretty good shape.

It's also getting a full repaint after taking it down to the shell (I'm close to that now).  I'd also like to replace the driver's side floorpan, or the entire floorpan if need be.  On this I see having 3 options:
>find a clean original pan, no luck yet on that
>have a custom set made, not sure who'd do that or what the cost would be
>see if an aftermarkt set for something like a Falcon, Nova, or early Mustang would fit.

Ideas?

Overall the body is in good shape with very little rust.  The driver's floorpan must've been the result of rainwater sitting over the yrs.  It's an original Orlando, FL car (I have the records).  It was originally gold, repainted green before I got it, and I'm thinking black inside and out with some grey or silver highlights.

It's already set up with a '70 390 that I'm not going to do too much to other than clean up, add the AC stuff (with a Sanden compressor), Tranny is a SVO T5 I put in shortly after buying the car, and the rear is an AMC 20, currently with 3.15's, but I'm going to put the original 3.54's back in it along with a rebuild.

Interior will be black.  I'm thinking of a low-key rollbar set up, maybe 4 point, and remove the rear seat with two buckets up front. It will be sound insulated thoroughly and carpeted.

Thinking of the AC, I also need a 3 groove, 3 bolt lower pully.  Have one of those laying around?

Thanks,
