Hawk Wheel Well Moldings - Another set up for grabs

[mbstude]

Gotta pay rent. <G> I have a couple of sets done.

Will give a $100 refund for your old restorable cores.

Nice Matt, how are you fixed for cores?....Bob

I could always use more, I get a lot of totally trashed ones and my supply of workable ones is slimming down.

Interesting, Matthew.

I have an NOS RF wheel opening molding, still in what remains of the wrapper with attaching clips and nuts, left over from when I "restored" my 1963 Hawk circa 1972. I just never happened to use it.

Although it has been wrapped and never on a car or exposed to much light, it is nowhere near as shiny as the ones you produce! 'Talk about "better than new," I'd say so. BP

BP, I've got a few various NOS pieces of stainless and none of it is as shiny as anything I've redone. The original stainless simply wasn't polished to the mirror-like luster that people expect today. Plus the NOS stuff has oxidized just like a piece that's been on a car for 50 years.

NOS pieces are also the most boring to restore.

The last NOS one that I had was in a Studebaker cardboard box with a piece of wood across it to prevent bending. I sold it for $50, including shipping. That was a few years ago, but I have recently sold good used ones for $15 each. I am currently all out of them.
