JACK M Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I have sedan stuff, Used up all of the coupe parts on my project. I doubt the moldings you need are the same as 4 door sedan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Wildcat Auto in Sandy, Oregon or the Big M in Williams, California. They both have a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please no thread jumping. Does he have and good extra parts for sale? Since you're new here, we try to help each other. Welcome to the forum. A lot of knowledgeable and good people here. No thread jumping here. Didn't say anything about selling plus you were not looking for a trunk lid. If you were, I would not have posted. I would have stated if I had parts for sale but Jack beat me to it. We have the same cars, 4 dr sedans. From the A-pillar forward, these cars are the same. I took the post down as not to cause any bad vibes. Nice project for these cars is rare. Keep us posted.

countrytravler Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) For reference. The front and rear bumper ends are the same for the front and rear on the coupe and sedan. The centers also will interchange except when you have a fluid drive tranny, the word fluid drive is embedded in the rear bumper. Also just learn the the rear gravel shield will interchange from a sedan to a coupe. Sold one to a customer with a 3 window business coupe from a 4 dr sedan and he said it was a bolt on.

Steelbreeze Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 No problems. I may have misread something. Another item I am looking for are the cowl mounted mirrors. Since you said they are the same in the front, maybe someone has a set of these. And I thought I had my grill problems figured out but as it stands I will still need the left and right top whiskers on the side and the top and middle bars in the center. I am not looking for show quality but something to look good on a daily driver with less pittage than my current ones. I sure wish there were somebody in south Florida that knew these cars mechanical so I can get it on the road. Everything has been rebuilt with all new parts but I just need to get the car motivated. And my budget is next to nothing unfortunately. This car deserves a much more prosperous owner. LOL I do paint and body to trade.

JACK M Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Good luck with those mirrors, I looked for years. I did run into a guy at a show that had some on his convertible and he told me that he bought them re-popped but were a thousand each. I didn't ask him where I could get some. Are you referring to the 'whiskers' that run in front and over the front wheel opening? I have some of those extra but I used the best ones. It is very difficult to find these parts that are not pitted. Note that I painted the hood Eagle and the trunk pieces. I actually sanded and bondo'ed then painted. I painted the valences to match and it looks pretty good for a rat rod. And yea, its got a Hemi. I couldn't justify chroming the bumpers so they are powder coated.

Steelbreeze Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yes those are the "whiskers" I am referring to. The parts I don't need for the grill I have already found NOS that were affordable. If you would part with your top ones I guess we should exchange pictures to see which are better. I purchased a hood wing for a 49-50 in hopes it would fit but it is slightly different and would take a little hood mod that I don't wanna do since my 47 was restored totally bone stock. But it also is NOS and beautiful. I have it listed on eBay and hope someone gets to make good use of it. The chrome is excellent. As far as the mirrors, cough cough. A grand? not me. LOL We'll see how it works out. If you want to email me pictures of the whiskers send to STEELBREEEEZE@AOL.COM. Thanx, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelbreeze Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I'm still looking for the quarter window garnish moldings. And the top right and left whiskers for the grill. I need help with the car in South Florida if anyone on the forum is down here. Can exchange some paint and bodywork for good electrical work. I'll get this thing on the road yet.

Rechroming is not an option with what they charge for pot metal. Was quoted between 6-8 grand to do the complete grill. Way to rich for me.

Steelbreeze Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 I'll have my accountant get a shipping quote and pass it along. Just remember they did a lousy chrome job but if your good with a die grinder or dremmel it can be shaped right. Then chromed again or painted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bought a rear gravel guard that was supposed to be for a coupe but did not fit my club coupe. The curvature at the ends was different. I did some modifying but would still rather get a correct fitting ones. I am still searching for most of these parts especially the quarter garnish moldings. And now I'm looking for the lower heater flap that opens at the bottom center of the heater. I need one with a good rubber seal Edited April 11, 2017 by Steelbreeze Wrong word (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 When you say gravel guard do you mean for the fenders or the valence behind the bumper. I may have the latter if you post the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelbreeze Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not the stainless steel ones for the fenders but the one that fills in between the body and the bumper. The one I purchased was supposed to be from a coupe also but the ends did not have the correct curvature to match the quarter panel. Maybe an 8 cylinder is different. All I know is it was wasted money that I didn't have. What condition is yours in. I have midfield this one but would still rather have the correct one.

JACK M Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The mirrors in question replace that short piece if trim is between the door and the hood. I would guess that there is a right and a left. They will have some way of mounting that is unique to these cars. No pics as I rarely see them.
