I am trying to find a replacement belt-line weatherstrip (the bit thats on the exterior where the window meets the door body).
I have found some possibilities but I have no idea what an intact one looks like as mine are to far-gone.

Anyone have a picture of a good one they can post?
I would also like to know the thickness of the nap if possible.

Called "Cat whiskers". They come with or without the attaching clips preinstalled. You definitely want the ones with the clips already installed. The "Top Cat" brand tends to fit well, in my experience, and has the clips installed. I bought mine from R/T Specialties, but I cannot recommend them as a vendor. Can't think who else has them, at the moment, but they're pretty commonplace. Check with the vendors in the "Where to buy parts" sticky in the "Slanted Network" section of the board.

Thanks Dan.
I searched R/T Specialties site and could not find anything pertaining to what I am looking for (yet again another site with '62 and up stuff...figures)
Right on for the tip about the clips.

I looked at Restoration Specialties catalog and for "cat whiskers" they list:

62 Lancer 4dr wagon
and
62 Valiant 2dr htop

Dropping a c-note on these without knowing if they will work aint gonna happen.

I did however find pictures of various pieces in their catalog, hence wanting the image to compare.

I have yet to call Andy Bernbaum, going to do that today, I just like to get a visual on what I am purchasing.

The listing for '62 Lancer 4-door wagon" applies for all '60-'62 Valiant and Lancer 4-door sedans and wagons.

The listing for '62 Valiant 2-door hardtop applies for all '61-'62 Valiant and Lancer 2-door hardtops — possibly 2-door sedans as well, but would need to dig thru the parts book to check.
