I am looking for either a single lens for the left front turn signal that is still clear or a set of front lenses if they both show the same wear (also need to be clear, not milky and translucent) I am hoping to pick them up (a set) for under $50 CDN since the housing is not needed, just the lens.

Welcome and nice car!!!! Every time I see those black interiors, I like my gold/brown interior just a little bit less lol

Wow! That is one sweet ride you have there!!!!

Do you have any pictures of it? I'd love to see how it actually looks compared to the samples they provide on the site. I've contacted TCPGlobal and they won't sell me 4oz samplers (or anything less than a quart) to test mix it to my preferred colour before buying several gallons. It looks...

I'd need the vinyl paint/repair but am I right to assume that the paint would fill the small spider cracking on the vinyl? I still haven't a clue about the tear but I'll worry about that later since it's not bad and a little care (or a cheapo glue down) will make sure it doesn't get much worse.

I always these cars would like nice all sealed up and made into a very large fishbowl.

Thanks Commando. That's good to know in case I try fixing the vinyl myself, my understanding is you need a fair bit of experience to pull it off, though.

Dan, the antenna showed up today, thanks again!

Thanks for the foot switch, I've never seen one before that I can think of so was just really going by the parts catalogue. I'll let you know if it works.

Thanks! This is going to be a long long winter having to wait to work on it :gah: Well, I need everything except antenna and radio now. So, speakers, brackets, grilles, supports, floor control. The front speaker is apparently a 4"x10" and rear 6"x9". The part numbers I have so far are...

Thanks Wollfen, appreciate the input :)

Has anyone had experience with the paint sold by TCPGlobal? It's branded "Restoration Shop" on the site. I'll be going with the Lacquer @ $130/gallon and am guessing I'll need two gallons of primary, one gallon secondary and two gallons clear (I want enough for future repairs as well)...

Thanks, I won't be working on it until the spring so right now I am formulating the game plan and trying to get some parts. The mirror isn't stock and wasn't standard until 66 or 67 as far as I know. The original "Accessories" catalogue that also came with the car shows "door mount mirror"...

Thanks Commando, I am hoping I remember enough to make this a nice car to drive around in... of course, in a worst case, it would make the replace or repair conundrum an easy choice LOL

To be honest, I'll be the first to call myself a hack. Aside from two years of painting cars for one of the big three back when people still did that work, I am self taught. The pros would just roll their eyes at my work (or at least my methods LOL). I'll be sure to post pics as the work...
