still have doors?

[Alan H. Tast]

Yes but be aware they're located between Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska. PM me directly for more details. The engine is sold and long gone.

Still have any rear windows? That you want to ship?

[Alan H. Tast]

PM me with your address. I'm not real comfortable shipping large pieces of tempered glass, and crating/shipping the rear glass may cost more than the glass itself. Suggestions for shipping rear glass appreciated.

Still have door panels?

[Alan H. Tast]

Yes, but would need to know where you're at in order to determine packaging/shipping costs FOB Gretna, NE. I am considering using for cores to have Just Dashes rebuild for my Roadster, so price and terms are firm.

Alan,

Not sure if these are the same for '63, but I'm looking for part "F" (and the nuts) for my '62. Need two sets.

[Alan H. Tast]

You should be able to find NOS/replacement trim clips by Au-Ve-Co at better-stocked auto body/paint stores as well as specialty places like Restoration Specialty Parts & Supply (?) in PA. I'd recommend doing that first - they're not expensive. You'll just need to take a few measurements of the clips for comparison.

[Steverino]

Thanks much - will check it out!

Steve, where in the great State of Penn do you live? Have you heard of a little town of Carlisle? Its not far from a city called Harrisburg.
There is a massive flea market being held there as of April 24 thru 28, where you can buy the clips from vendors for probably 50 cents each. PLUS the benefit of seeing all kinds of cars, parts interior items, and other items you may need.
Pat Wilson T Bird Parts has a booth. Dennis Carpenter has a booth. Resto Supply has a booth too!
Even "I" am going to be there
For anyone trying to build a car, this is a place to help get the parts, on a 80 acre field of stuff. I have been going for over 25 years, and it has always been a weekend away with the boys.

[Steverino]

Thanks for the Carlisle suggestion! Yes, I'm certainly familiar - I live in Lititz, near Lancaster. I have been to a number of Carlisle events over the years including showing my SM with the Citroen club at the Imports meet. Haven't ever gotten around to attending the swap meet, but maybe this will be the year...

[RAVEN]

Ah! the fine area of the fine art of horses and wheel wrights and Blue Ball, Bird in Hand, Intercource and the Martin Families. Know the area well. Have sold many of a carriage and harness in years past.

[Steverino]

Alan,

The Restoration Specialties lead was a good one, with a very similar part. Then I stopped being dumb and checked a couple of TBird houses. Of course they had the same part. Don't know why I assumed it wouldn't be available. I think I need a brain transplant.

Thanks for helping!
