I was pretty sure that was your '69 Tim. We deciding to go at the last moment. I pulled up your album here just before leaving and recognized the paint scheme at the show. Sorry I missed you. No one was in their cars when we got there. I noticed the BBC in the red coupe. It was the only bird with the hood up, lol.

Amervo, you'll just have to bit the bullet and buy the stuff you need. Or leave the cosmetics until the season is over and drive it a little less completed. The 3M ribbon sealer is around $15 for one kit but folks recommend urethane around the edge to make the job last. You could probably get a 3M kit at Mattos. I plan to use the original rope sealer and skim urethane around the edge. If it had been completely urethaned in, I would never have gotten the glass out without ruining it.

Some of these sealers and adhesives need a $60 caulk gun to use them. The paint store at least loans them out. The panel glue is $33 each! Even sandpapers cost a fortune. I'm well over budget and I've stopped counting. I don't want to know. Red paint? I hope you've started a separate budget for that. It's the most expensive of all the colors.
