Auto body repair & detailing: 72 chevelle, weather striping, weather strip


Question
Hay John,
I have a 72 chevelle that I am restoring I have been moving along steady with the body work in till I got to the trunk, the Trunk weather strip gutter is completely rusted out “where the weather striping sets into. I have been searching for some type of a skin to replace it with no luck. I don't think they make anything. I could rig something up, but I really want it to look professional. I am 23 and have restored a 70 chevelle in my teens with my farther, but I did not run into this problem with that car. I am pretty much stumped. I know it is a tough one but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Mike
