This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Mark,

    Brian,
    Have you used those? I have heard negative opinions about them, so I was looking for an original set.

    No, I haven't used them--just seen them in the catalog. I have my originals and I think that theyare in useable shape--they were in the trunk when I got the car. Sine mine had a vinyl top that was rusty underneath, they must have come off easy. What were the negative comments you heard about the repo's? I was planning to order them, but will stick with my originals if the new ones are junk. I have the info for a guy that re-annodizes aluminum parts. he did a bunch of trim for my friend's '78 F-250 4x4 and they looked perfect. It is like $10 a foot to get done though.

    I thought I read sometime ago on another forum (Chevelles I think) that they didn't fit, and the quality was poor. So my plan was to stay away from them. I guess I figured there are quite a few a-body's out there, so finding a set to at least re-anodize wouldn't be too difficult. I could be wrong. Someone in the past had taken mine off, and they must have used a screwdriver, and really messed them up.

    I'm not sure about the 65's, but on 66's, some cars used stainless steel drip moldings.

    That is intersting--wish mine were stainless! My '66 has the annodized alumimum ones on it, and so does my '64 Skylark and my '65 GS.

    Walt, there was a move to stainless on the drip rails for some 66 models, I don't know why. My 66 Impala coupe has stainless drip mouldings. All the 64-65 a-body cars I've ever seen, whether Chev or BOP, have been anodized aluminum.
