Can anyone provide a few pictures of a factory painted door jamb on a Fairlane 500.  The project that I am working on was repainted once before and I don't think that the jambs were done correctly.

Much thanks!

I have some pics of mine I can send you.  It has been repainted but we carefully matched all of the factory lines with a parts car we have.

Just shoot me your email.

I am at greeng@mcpherson.edu

If it is not too much trouble, I picture of the trunk opening (the tail panel between the tail lights) would be really helpful too.

Thanks for your help!

My car is in storage right now but I will try to get you more pics when I get it out for a show on 8/6.

Here is a pic of the door jamb area right after it was painted.  

The red stripe on the front door post does not extend into the front door jamb area.  It was only in that grove.

These pictures are a big help.  The trunk panel is masked differently than I thought that it would be, so I'm glad that the picture clarifies that for me.

Nice paint and car overall. Thanks for sharing your photos!
