This is my ode to George Lucas. If you have looked hi & low, NOS to junkyard, and still have not found that one piece of trim you need to finish the project.., AND you still have the old fubarred piece, you have one more option. It's not cheap and it's not quick. But if you are already desperate enough to spend stupid money for this part, then this may work for you. I had found 2 sets of trunk lid strips for my Fury in junkyards in 3 years of searching. Both pairs were very oxidized. Pair "A" had only a 4" flattened smush on each of the strips. On Pair "B", each strip had been crushed, creased, twisted, and stretched. My Metalworks Doctor said No Prob on Pair"A", and said to also send Pair"B" along, just for kicks, and he would see what he could do with them. As you view and evaluate the photos, keep in mind that these are thin, very flexible strips that may look curved and not ruler straight. However, they fall into line once they are snapped onto the molding clips. Pair"A" came out super...a 95-98%. Amazingly, Pair "B" came out a strong 85% and a great Daily Driver. Pair"B" was so mangled and "stretched" that I would have never believed it could be revived. But, by george, George DID IT! See PART TWO for more of the story. Thanks. Not bRight 12/31/18
