Chuck, You take care of yourself and don't worry about this little trim issue. This car is going to be back in the customer's hands before the week is out. I cannot remove this trim part until I have one to replace it. It's really not that noticible, but when you have spent the last year building a near flawless Chevelle anything less than perfect becomes a "wart on a pretty face". I hope everything works out well for you. Our health is really way more important than a hobby.

Mike, I am in quite a bit of pain tonight and have an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow hoping he can give me something to help with it. Then on Wednesday I have to go have a brain scan with contrasting dye. Once I get thru all of this and can move around somewhat better I will try to find the name and number of the place that did my aluminum trim. I am pretty sure that they will also do stainless steel. Worst case they could get it completely cleaned up with no dents or scratches and you have it chrome plated elsewhere. Funny, but a lot of people, including one locally that I approached about doing the work thought that the material was stainless steel, and it turned out to be anodized aluminum. This company also does anodizing, and may do chrome plating but that I am not totally sure of. You should have this info within a week, if you need it quicker I will do everything I can to get to you quicker.

The piece I need is not reproduced and is stainless. I have reworked it and it is passable but far from perfect. This is the only flaw in this build and I want to make it better if the part can be found.

The company is located in northern Indiana. I have a 70 Chevelle Malibu that has the aluminum strips that run from the front of the fender to the bottom of the drip molding. In all I sent them 6 pieces and they removed all dents, scratches, and buffed them to a high shine. They would have anodized them clear for a fee but I did not have time to leave them to have that done. For all 6 pieces it cost $275 which I did not think was bad especially when these parts are not being reproduced by anyone. I had another place quote me $400 and to be honest I don't think I would trust him with my parts.(probably ruin them) If you want to have your current piece reworked let me know and I will try to the names and phone number and send it to you. If you are looking for a new piece have you tried some of the restoration companies like Year One, or Ground Up, etc. Would they have that part? Good luck, Chuck Speake 1970 Chevelle Malibu Glen Ellyn, Illinois [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Holleman Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 12:48 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Trim needed Thanks Herb, I did not find it at Goodguys either. Was good running into Jim there. He hasn't changed a bit.

It looks like your request for a trim piece got hi-jacked and turned into an oil thread. Oh, and sorry, I don't have the trim piece you're looking for.

I need the ss weatherstrip trim on the pass side a pillar. I was able to straighten the original piece enough to use it, but it still shows some dents and takes away from the cars overall finish. Anybody got one or know where one might be found? I have already exhausted my normal sources.
