Picked up these door & body mouldings for the '83. The mouldings are actually for the '85/86 model year. I'll clean them up then take a few more pics. Have you ever tried to find this year moulding?
where did you find that ??
I seen the GT section at a swap meet today, I was like...wtf is that? I was confused because I didn't recognize the moldings
yeah, I didn't get the GT Mouldings, just the LX versions.........gotta have those good ol country boy connections to find these gems.
Icleaned them up a bit!
molding trim paint from autozone is good stuff to use...I restored all my trim using it and it looks factory
A great find thunder .. those cleaned up pretty nice.
Not bad so far, I put some paint on them. I'm gonna sand them some more, then respray them.
Nice find.
put a little paint to them
What a difference .. those look like brand new .. what do you figure you saved by redoing those over buying new pieces?
You can't buy new pieces.......not for the '85/86 Model year.
That sucks .. you would think places like yearone or late model restoration would havethat stuff.
'85/86 is an oddball year. I think Ford must of reworked the tooling, that made these pieces, and used it to make the later model years.
Ya I spent some time looking around and it seems like those trim pieces are only available in 87 and up. No one seems to list ANY for an 85/86.
Bingo!
Now try to find '64 Fairlane quarter panel replacements.

The guy wants 2500 bucks for one quarter panel in that listing.............not happening.
I am very familar with Crites restoration. I have his fiberglass front end on my car. Seriously thinking about buying the fiberglass rear quarters from him.
Well damn thunder you didn't say it had to be cheap .. LOL
Crites has very good quality......a lot of people don't realize the front of the Fairlane is fiberglass until I point it out to them.
I wondered about the quality when I saw it was fiberglass.
