Windlace

Does anyone know how many feet of windlace is required on a Henry J? I see there are two rows around the doors, how do you hide the tacks that attach it.

I got mine from Kanter back in 2006.  I don't remember how many feet - they sell it by the yard so I just measured the area,, multiplied it by 2 for 2 doors and ordered it.  Kanter sells it by the yard.  My records indicate I bought 7 yards (so 21 feet...) of each - windlace and wire-on but it was the same amount of each.

Thanks for the reply's & photos I didn't realize it was so costly. My car is currently in the body shop getting ready for paint, I hope to get it back by early spring to start assembling it.
