"My car also had full length wood trim along the top of the doors. I have the driver's door rail.

And I thought the wood would look better finished rather than covered. ... I had an Amish fella fabricate all new wood pieces for the car. Then I stained them and applied a thick, clear resin to protect the wood from the weather - but never planned to be in the rain".
