Title: Quarter Window Chrome/Stainless Moldings
Post by: cwmcobra on March 19, 2019, 09:37:41 PM

Any experience or recommendations on sources for the bright quarter window vertical moldings?  I see parts from AMD and Restoparts.  AMD says it's produced by Ted Williams Enterprises.  And the Restoparts pieces say they are for both hardtop and convertible, but need about 1/2" trimmed for the convertible.  No such note on the AMD parts.

Opinions?

Thanks!

Thanks John.  I'll check them out.  My GTO friend has Ames parts on his 68 restoration and they look and fit pretty well.

 I need some for my convertible also! I found really nice originals for the hardtop from a 64 hardtop! For what ever reason the metal in these is better!? My originals were rusted and I cut my hand on them! Let us know what you find!
