Anyway I figured I would try the cheap weatherstrip pieces at Classic parts $25 a pair was pretty reasonable. If they don't work well then I can go the import route and spend the extra cash on those as they get good reviews. I put in the as I like to call them "El Cheapos" Adjusted the striker and to my surprise they fit great. The door does not fall shut by itself but I also do not need to slam the door. And they even seal the door.. Thinking I must have gotten lucky or done something wrong.. LOL. Oh well the seals worked out great and now I am finishing off the carpet with new mats and kick panels to match the "El Cheapo" carpet.
Keep thinking I was going to keep this build simple.

What color was the carpet (just to be sure)? Sure looks like it would be a decent match to my 64's interior color (which is not OE).
