Nope everything was tight and in place. And I noticed no rattling. The
best thing I can think is they were used to soak up some water in the
bottom. This car is surprisingly rust free. It spent most it's life in
Chicago and Park City, Utah. Not exactly rust free states. Nearly
everything is rust proofed. Why they didn't paint the bottoms of the doors
to matxh the flat black strip of rust proofing paint is beyond me. I'll
just finish the job so it looks nice. That's next weeks project. Then all
I'll need it the IL DMV (Or secretary of state over there) to send me the
new title. Then maybe I can drive it legally! I had to talk my way out of
a ticket today. He let me go because I had my seat belt on and was insured.
