Hey Zola, can't help with the trim but I have to say the tail lights on your car are wild. Is that a European detail? Definantly have never seen those.

I noticed those too, but I also noticed that Superdup's Frenchy car appears to have normal tail lights. I have heard that American cars going to Australia have to have special tail lights molded for them and that all the cars have to be converted to Englishter style right hand drive. You can't keep them left hand drive. I saw an article about a hemi Cuda being converted and the dash being sawed in half and re-made along with moving the steering and pedals and making the special tail lights. I think I'd just buy an old Mad Max Torino Falcon road warrior car. I understand they are getting up in price but not hemi cuda territory yet.

Of course not, that's a European hack-job. :mad:
Every US vehicle has to be altered to Eurpean standards in my country: assymetric headlights and amber turn signal lights.

Only exceptions are the restored or factory original historic vehicles (at least 30 years old). Before getting licensed these cars have to pass an oldtimer inspection.

With the 2" lowering, 4 discs, edelbrock heads and other goodies I don't have the chance to pass the inspection.

However I still want to use the original tail lights, so I've installed the turn signal lights in the reverse light with amber bulbs.

The transformation is invisible:

I just noticed. You painted your car the same color as the parts car? Is there another reason for this besides you like green?

That was the original color of my car. Forest Green with green interior.
That's why I bought a green parts car.

Hey bud, I wanted to let you know I didn't forget about ya. I've had a bunch of stuff come up including this weekends yard sale. So I'm shooting for the next couple of days to get those window trim parts off. I'll let you know as soon as I get them ready.

[zolav8]

Thanks, I count on your moldings. :)

Alright! I got all the trim off and all's well with two problems. The outside drivers side part that runs along the bottom,(you have it high lighted) acidentaly broke off the tab that slides in the part that goes up to the trunk. Big time sorry for that but the outsides are okay so maybe you can weld or braze them back together. The drivers side window part does have some rott, there's a rust hole on my car there, but that's not a part in red on your pic. So if you PM me your Florida adress I'll let you know how much the shipping is.
