    Real Steel Replacement

    Im in Tennessee close to Knoxville. No just the 2 door. Bought the 4 door for metal if needed. My 2 door is pretty solid. Except the trunk and a few spots on the rockers and of course the lower rear of the front fenders

    Replacement Door Panel Cards

    Mine are good shape just want new ones. If i get a chance i will make a pattern. Mine are still covered. The boards are real thin and bend over at the top. Must of been steamed when they were made to get that bend. Geez these cars are a pain to work with at times.

    My '61 fury

    for I have a buddy restoring a 61 also. He needs the rear window weather stripping. Do you know anywhere to get it. Talked to Gary Goers when I was getting parts for my 62 880 coupe. He didn't have the 61 rear window rubber. Thought I would ask you guys if you know where to get. Thanks

In fact thats who I got my donor 880 car from. I will get his email address from him when I go pick the donor...
