    I've been looking for a complete kit of weather stripping for my whole car and the only one I can find is the kit from autokrafters (at about 500$). Is there any other company's or resources with cheaper prices???

    I don't think u will be able to find a new set for less, unless u find someone on Ebay or some other place from an abandoned project. If you add everything up, from any of the few suppliers you will probably wind up 0ver $500.00.

    I think Daniel carpenter reproductions make it so they may have a website to order it from!

    Prices are higher from Daniel. IF they will even sell to the consumer???
    I call Daniel Carpenter at least 5 times a year. I get nowhere!

    I used to buy from D C when I was in the mustang parts buss 17 years ago but have no buss license now, might be a good part time venture for a younger person than I. I used to buy mustang windshield w/s for 50 percent off retail if I bought in quantity

    I have a VALID business license. D C acts like just a distributor.
    I used to do a lot of business when Dennis was in charge. Most of what is made by DC for the PINTO was done with my help. If you call DC they do not even know they make Repop parts for Pintos.
    I spent 2 hrs on the phone this week trying to get the Maverick-Pinto trunk seal cut 2 foot longer to fit the Pinto hatchback. In FACT I sent the profile to DC so the Maverick-Pinto trunk gasket could be made....

    I didn't think Carpenter sold direct to the customer? I've been there, they make the weather stripping in house, but they make all their parts in batches, enough to last a few years, from what they told me, so some of the parts being sold now, could have been manufactured 2-3 years ago...
