Doe's any body know where in Los Angeles or where I can send my side trim to get polished and straighten? Also would like to know where to purchase the clips, or is there other clips I could use. The side trim is for a 49 ford custom. Thanks Miguel
Restoration Pieces in Lawndale 424-288-6514 ask for Ericka and tell her Mitch From AstroMotive sent you. they just did the garnish molding trim for my 52 coupe. they were smashed and beat to hell. they did a stellar job on them.
might be a long shot but, try www.hilcofasteners.com they're in orange county. i've found some pretty hard to find stuff there. also try owens salvage. they're an alliance vendor and have lots of stuff. they totally decked me out for my 52 coupe.
dennis carpenter has trim clip sets http://www.dennis-carpenter.com or check out http://www.shoeboxford.com they have tons of stuff. I just ordered a new heater core, original speedometer lens, and some misc. rubber from them... dv
as for the clips, you can make them out of sheetmetal and screws, with a drill pliers, and tin snips for next to nothin
