hello,I just bought an Austin Cooper S 1966 to restore.I'm no mechanic,just an old guy with to much time on his hands.I know I'll have a ton of questions as I get more into this. At this point I have it all apart and ready for paint,almost The doors don't have the holes for the stainless window trim.I have been told that it is really tricky to get this right.Why? It seems pretty straight forward to me.I'm sure there is something I don't know.I would like to find out before I do my usual Bull in the China shop routine.Thanks
