I'm getting ready to have the wife's 64 Greenbrier restored. In prep,
besides media blasting, all fixed glass, chrome, and trim will be pulled. Going
back in, after metal replacement, priming, and painting, I'm going to REPLACE
ALL weather strips, fuzzies, fixed glass gaskets, miscellaneous rubber stops,
and window felt tracks.
Question and a favor: can anyone, who has already restored a FC to this
level, supply a list (with vendor and part numbers) for the items appearing
following "...REPLACE ALL ..." in the previous sentence? My initial search of all
the likely vendors (or "suspects") revealed a lot of statements like "may not
be exactly as original." I've done this level restoration to early cars,
and, with cars, the degree of uncertainty was no where near what it seems to be
with FC vehicles. A note about how well the selected parts actually fit,
would also be much appreciated. Again, I've done complete restorations myself and
by hire before, so basic restoration tips are not needed...what I need are
leads (as specific as possible) on good rubber, trim, and felt parts for FCs.
In trade, I've air conditioned the Brier, very successfully, and would be
happy to share that information.
Much obliged,
Mike Mauro
