The Good News is I was lucky enough to find a farmer in Kansas who had an old hulk of an AD Panel that had 12 original pieces of stainless fender trim. I bought the trim from him a while back;"bad news" have since lost or misplaced the middle trim piece from passengers side rear fender.
I have searched all over for a replacement for this piece with no success...I've even bid on the recent set that was on ebay, but I couldn't justify $1500. for another set.
Does anyone know or have contact with someone who has the talent to fabricate this piece for me? It's a diifcult job because of the curved profile and rounded contours of the trim piece. I have a good original from another mounted set that can be used as model. Any help/direction would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 22 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2003 Posts: 22 | I've heard the guys from GE antique creations out of Sante Fe Springs will make one or 2 for you I don't know how well they are made but do know a friend bought a pair of fender spears from them and was happy with them, I'll try to locate the # if your interested. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 | Thanks, Manuel...I've been in contact with GE Creations and they are almost exclusively involved with fender spears.(I bought a set from them a couple of years ago...expensive, but outstanding quality). We talked about fabricating my missing piece but they were reluctant to attempt the project. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 379 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 1,586 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 1,586 | Ray is available for quality sheetmetal parts ,contact him at [email protected] with any requests. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 | Thanks...I've been in contact with the Metalman...I'm sending Ray some pics of the trim pieces and he'll make a determination if he can reproduce the piece. | | |
