Thanks for all the feedback. I owe you all a number of updates! I'm at work and don't have access to my photos right now, but I'll upload some this evening.
I've stayed quite busy with the project. All the trim was removed, black trim was painted with SEM and the chrome was polished to remove as much of the water/mineral stains & cloudiness as possible (this was NOT easy). But new chrome trim was really expensive, so I spent the time.
I've ordered new window seals to replace the dry/cracking ones. Most of those seals are installed. The window have also been lubed and run up & down much smoother (without any squeaking noises).
Right now I'm trying to make sense of the previous owners stereo install. My plan is to keep the amp in the trunk, remove the subwoofer and replace the aftermarket Alpine head unit with an OEM CM5908 radio. Took me a while to trace everything yesterday, but I think I know where things go now. (probably famous last words though!).
After not driving the car for a few months I make a short trip over the weekend. Here's a shot from then:
Once I got home I took all the seats out and started work on the stereo. My new leather arrives tomorrow and I can't wait to start that project this weekend.
