Hi all. I haven't started on bodywork yet, but wondered, is the plastic under the beltline trim something that can be bought or is there a suitable substitute? I didn't see it on W&N. Thanks!

It's been NLA for quite some time.... One of the hardest things to find in good condition is the beltline trim rubber. I found a set of NOS from a guy named Sevan. You can call to see if he's made any more buying trips to Germany. He has a 2002 Auto Repair place in Sun Valley CA. Shop # is 818-899-4999. Keep in mind, I barely know the guy, just bought my set including the metal off him on ebay a while ago. It was as described but I typically hate recommending anyone in case anything goes wrong, so proceed knowing that. Re: Substitute material, have not heard of any. Good Luck. -GB

Oh man.... Very much appreciate the info. Well, I do bounce around that area once in a while, so maybe I'll give him a try, but I understand it's a long shot. Maybe I can figure out an alternative when I get that part of the build!..:)

Carl has the new product devised by Mr. Cain

That sounds like a Cold War era encrypted message...I suddenly imagined Clint Eastwood smuggling a supersonic jet out of Russia....:). Sorry, I get distracted easily... Is that Carl Nelson in LaJolla?

Interesting, that is new to me. I'll check it out today or next week when I'm back at his shop and give feedback. He never mentioned anything about that, must be super new.
