Frustrations abound....

[Gary Kitchens]

Are there ANY mopar junkyards yall know about? I need a pair of quarter window stainless trim pieces that go on the body outside the window, google has nothing, I'm getting frustrated. Finishing the complete restoration of a 71 Challenger Deputy, and these are the last pieces needed to complete the car. have a wanted ad up, that's gaining no atention, ebay has nothing, so I figured there's a collection of E bodies somewhere and one of yall knows where it is. 8)

Thanks!

Your WTB ad is unfortunately your best bet. The after market reproduces them for convertibles, but not hardtops. I think the belt mouldings came standard on SE cars. I know they came on all 70 Western Sport Specials. So they're out there. Just pretty rare and no demand.

Thanks for the added depression

Well, I'm currently drinking a 25 oz strawberry margarita, so I'm not depressed at all! I suggest an adult beverage if you are custom to that sort of thing!

You lucky Dawg

What are those trim pieces called? Belt moldings. Hmm. At least that helps me expand my search parameters.

 

[Xcudame]

Yes. Belt mouldings for the quarter panels. Do you need a picture of them?

 

[Gary Kitchens]

I have pictures of them that they’re just seven years old from when I started this restoration. I know their dimensions and what they look like. I just didn’t know the proper name. I just called it quarter window outside stainless steel lol this is my first Mopar restoration. I’ve done many other cars but never a challenger.

Modify your WTB ad to say "belt mouldings for the quarter panels". Oh, and ignore the non-factory NRA stickers in my photos.

I saw a pair at mopar nationals this year. Doesn't help you now, but it does give you an idea of where you might be able to find them, next year.

I agree, change your want ad. That will help.

 

[Gary Kitchens]

I just changed the post, thank you guys

Picture needed. M31 body belt molding

Would like a picture of the M31 1970 body belt moldings. These would be on a convertible and i am not sure I have ever taken notice of the M31 option. Anyone out there?

More information on top of door clips.

I have the hardware that came off of them still I removed all that while I was doing my polishing.

 

[Cuda Hunter]

What happened to your old ones?
Perhaps someone would trade a nicer set for a set needing repairs and a little cash.

 

[Gary Kitchens]

I did all of the chrome polishing about four years ago, and stored them in my master bedroom, which I have since rented out to a very good friend, the only two pieces of trim I have not located are those two. I need to buy another pair so I can finish this damn car.
I prefer no damage, but I still have the tools to repair a light ding or two before I polish them.

You might check with Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix;

Another possibility is Wildcat auto wrecking outside of Portland Oregon:

Wildcat Auto Wrecking | Mopar Parts | Classic Car Dealer

Probably a longshot, but I have heard good things about them here in the Northwest...
Good Luck!

You may want to run your wanted ad on Moparts and e-bodies.org as well

 

[Gary Kitchens]

Thank you for those suggestions. I will start calling them today.
