Phillip, if you want to come over here fri. Night and leave in the morning that'd be fine.
It's about an 1:20 drive for me, I'd like to be there 8:00 ready to go, make the best of the time we have.

| | | | | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 414 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 414 | Phil, It's the molding for the very rear passenger side window. I was at my restorer this A.M. at Winchester, VA and probably will be there montly as this small shop is doing metal work for me. Perhaps, you could see the project the Sunday after Thanksgiving and we could meet. If you had that molding that would save me some for not having this guy fabricate one. Thanks.

Sounds like perfect weather for a junkyard trip!
