Original Wheel Well Moldings

[Tom Kelly]

I just finally finished the two year frame-off restoration of my 86 GN. It felt like it was 1986 and I was picking it up at the dealers. It came out beautiful.
Anyway, as we replaced all of the trim (most of which was too worn to go with the new paint job, I have a couple of leftovers that someone might be able to use. I have the original electric antenna (I switched to antenna in windshield) which worked upon removal but not all the way up or down. Also the original wheel well moldings which are in typical 30 year old shape. Three of them ae pretty good and will need only mild sanding and painting. The fourth has a small bit of corrosion on an inner edge running a couple of inches long and maybe 1/8 inch deep.
They are free to first callers. I live in Southwestern Connecticut (Wilton) I prefer local pickup or if you frequent John Csordas'

shop in Pleasantville I could leave them with him for you. Let me know.

My car is in for a frame off as well. I did the exact same thing with the antenna.

Just wait till it's time to drive it home. Its like 1986 and you're picking up your new car. I made three changes during the restoration. 1. The antenna removal, 2. Removed the original equipment body side molding. and 3. Did not repeat the "wavy" paint on the bottom of the sides but made it gloss all the way down. Discovered how sad old trim looks on a new paint job so spent about $800 buying new trim pieces or restoring hard to get originals. All worth it. Good luck with yours. It was well worth the wait. New engine, new chassis and now new body....all better than new. Love it

Here you go. A couple of shots as finished and some shots along the way to show how rust gets into these thirty year olf cars. And it seemed pretty solid on the outside. A movie we have all seen I am sure. And of course, one of the engine. Enjoy

It seems that both antenna and moldings are claimed.
