WOWZERS! How did I miss THAT?!

Thanks for posting up!!!!!!

Don

Typical, I need the RH!

Taillight trim is mine

Hope it arrives in one piece!

Don

Congratulations! Every piece you get makes it that much closer to completion. Good price too.

RED78 - U R D MAN! Thanks for posting that eBay find here. Without that I'd still be searching.

I have been searching for this piece since buying the car. Every time I would find it the piece was always peeling, like mine. I had decided to go an alternate route and buy some chrome vinyl and recover the piece myself. I even obtained samples. I found some excellent stuff but then I'd have to buy yards of it and it's not exactly cheap.

I now have everything for the exterior!! YEE HAA!!

Now all I need is the rear interior panels, or at least the lower part. Mine are cracked at the dog leg where they turn into the door opening from people stepping on them as they'd get in/out of the back seat. If I can find whole lowers I'd piece them together with my uppers. Then I'd have a complete interior as well.

Well, one more step closer!!

Don

Don, I have 4 of those rear panels in unbroken shape.
I have been thinkling about selling a set, but I can't think of a way to ship them without damage.
I thought you had a guy that was selling them to you a couple of years ago?

Yeah...well...that "guy" ended up sending me pieces that were broken, not the set he sent pictures of. He sent pics of blue ones and I received the sand tan color. Thankfully I got them through eBay and they made it right. But the broken areas were the areas I needed unbroken so they're useless to me unless the upper portion of mine were to break.

I even experimented with casting my own repair parts and actually got pretty close. It was getting so expensive to keep experimenting that I finally gave up. But I am darn close to being able to cast taillights!! I'll post an update when I pull my next set.

If you were to sell a set what would you want for them? Color doesn't matter as I'm doing a custom color combo of white/black/red so I'm going to dye/paint pieces anyway. My interior is red now.

Also, I've thought that if I could find a set from a boxtop 2 door I could probably also use them since I was goign to cut out a section to bond to mine.
