Anyone know the part number of (or where I can get) the rubber trim that sits on top of the rear bumpers just between the bumpers and the body?

ONLY to the Q-tip crowd!!!

To others, it has moved a bit towards 'R' value, even if just one needle-width!

Congrats, Don, on a job well done!

Wanna buy some used front T trim or rear S trim?

The tape looks clean. Just wondering how it will hold up in the elements. Will it turn into a seasonal reapplication?

Hey Don - that looks really nice. Do the holes show thru the tape at all if the light hits it just right or no?

Hey Curt! Sorry I missed this. If you look closely you can see it easily. From a distance its no big deal. Either way I don't mind.

It's not tape but actually pinstriping. As far as "holding up" its no different than the pinstriping you see on cars. It'll hold up just fine. Besides, most of the early cars you see here are rarely driven in harsh weather. Mine may see some light rain but that's about it.

For those that wondered, here's my 73 after I removed the trim and welded up the holes.

Thanks Don - can you post an overall shot of your car? I'm interested to see how the tape bumper stripes look with the chrome rocker trim (or did you delete the rocker trim also?).
