1941 Olds Series 76 large moulding clips?

[truckmen]

Hello all,

 

Beginning restoration of a 1941 Oldsmobile Series 76

Anyone know where I can obtain these very large moulding clips that hold the larger stainless steel trim on the rear quarters of this car?

I've enclosed a photo of the rusted ones that I am removing

This could be a tough one. 

 

A couple of thoughts:  Mr. G's Fasteners might have something and you can inquire of the folk at Fusick's.

 

If you have contacts in the world of auto restoration, you should ask them what they would do in your situation.

 

I suspect you may have to punt by fabricating something that will work.

Thanks, D Yaros,

 

I've started making contacts and yes, I agree, this is going to be a bit challenging. I've got some newer photos I will post to hopefully clarify my immediate needs. 

By the way, how reputable is Mr G's Enterprises. I've not done business with them yet.

As for Mr. G's,  have never done business with them.  I do know they have been around for quite a while and they supply other fastener retailers.  From what I know of their rep in the old car community I would not fear dealing with them.

Have you tried Chevies of the forties site? Others have found that some body  parts will interchange with Old's. This is just a shot in the dark... Tedd
