<VV> Time to Restore The Wife's Greenbrier

I'm getting ready to have the wife's 64 Greenbrier restored. In prep,  
besides media blasting, all fixed glass, chrome, and trim will be  pulled. Going 
back in, after metal replacement, priming, and painting, I'm  going to REPLACE 
ALL weather strips, fuzzies, fixed glass gaskets,  miscellaneous rubber stops, 
and window felt tracks. 
 
Question and a favor: can anyone, who has already restored a FC to this  
level, supply a list (with vendor and part numbers) for the items appearing  
following "...REPLACE ALL ..." in the previous sentence? My initial search of  all 
the likely vendors (or "suspects") revealed a lot of statements like "may  not 
be exactly as original." I've done this level restoration to  early cars, 
and, with cars, the degree of uncertainty was no where near what it  seems to be 
with FC vehicles. A note about how well the selected parts actually  fit, 
would also be much appreciated. Again, I've done complete restorations  myself and 
by hire before, so basic restoration tips are not needed...what I  need are 
leads (as specific as possible) on good rubber, trim, and felt parts  for FCs.
 
In trade, I've air conditioned the Brier, very successfully, and would be  
happy to share that information.
 
Much obliged,
Mike Mauro
