    STAGE III Lost Experimental 455-4 Bolt Main Block.

    If I cannot find someone to repair my hail damaged exterior trim I will need all exterior stainless trim if you have any.
    Specifically fin trim,convertible boot trim,door top trim,lower windshield trim, door guard trim,etc.
    Interested in any of it in decent (not dented or dinged condition please).
    Need not be mint, just not dented please (I can buff it so don't worry about "just foggy" items).
    So what ya got?

    Thanks,

    Fritz

    If 60 hardtop trim will crossover I may be able to give you a hand. Also do you know if any 59 trim is the same?

    Good questions guys,

    If it was a GS I could answer that right away but my 60 was a "God send" :)

    and I truthfully have not researched interchangable parts.

    I have a Hollander manual if I can find it to answer your questions.

    "I'll be back" :Brow:

    Dan,

    Thanks for taking the time to see if it was still there.

    Definitely made my heart drop to here that but it will work out when it is supposed to.

    You can still go burn a MEAN wheel in front of "Mister Mopars" house for throwing a monkey wrench into our getting it though.............really really rots losing such a rare chance like that.

    Ok, gotta get the kids to bed and try and dream up another game plan tonight.

    Thanks again for trying buddy :TU:

    Well that is the first time for that. :shock:

    Man, I spent about 30 minutes typing you a nice email and I THOUGHT it got sent. :confused:

    No telling what I screwed up on with that one! :laugh:

    Anyhow, basically I couldn't do it with transport costs and all.

    Anyone who has you work on their car will be very fortunate though.

    Ok, gotta fly man.

    Talk at ya later.
