On my '32 I used flexible run channels from
Rubber The Right Way for everthing. I selected it after getting samples from about 6 suppliers. Theirs was selected because it looked the most like the original felt lined with chrome bead that was in the car and the price was great too.
Even though I used flexible it works great on straight runs. On the '32 it gets nailed at the back of the channel to the wood. I used a short ~1 inch stout nail. If you nail, make sure that it goes straight in and that the head is flat and is buried in the the lining. I think you will want the channel to go down to where the bottom of the glass is or maybe a inch or so less when the window is lowered.
I can appreciate your challenge with putting together a "Kit Car" as mine was in the same condition. When I picked it up the beds of two pickup were full of boxes and car pieces with one of the trucks pulling a trailer with the car. The car was also stuff full of parts.
I can not thank the members who use & support PackardInfo enough. There is no doubt without them I would have gone gray sooner and be completely bald by now.
