Everything in the door channel is the same as the body.

Well, there is a small area of 'black-out' on the front jamb of the door, itself....right at the top of the front jamb.

Show him, Alan71....

Here's an original unrestored '72. 73 was similar.

My AIM shows where it is supposed to be black. Wish I had noticed it before.

Great job and thanks for the information. I was considering them because the garage space is tight but I think I will pass based on the Cons you mentioned.
