Body trim, bead, molding...

Post by 63Fiberbuggy »

What I thought would be an easy assignment is turning out to be a frustrating search. I'm nearing completion of my restoration and can't find vendors carrying body trim/bead/molding (not sure what it's officially called). Pics of "before" below trimming out body around wheel...when I removed existing it didn't look good... Image Image Does anyone have a few links I might use? Thanks.

Is this what you are looking for? This is a picture from Texas Buggy Blast. Maybe they have a source there. Try http://www.texasmanxclub.com they may know of a source.

Hello Bill, The trim in your photos looks similiar to trim that Berrien Buggy offers on their website, they call it Jiffy Trim and it can be ordered with or without the chrome accent. They mailed me a sample awhile back, I would imagine that they would do the same for you as well. Their website is berrienbuggy.com, and their telephone number is 269-471-1411. Gook luck, I hope this helps.

Thanks guys! Can't wait to get this buggy on the road again. 1988 was last ride & I've been in restore mode for nearly 2 years...

I think what you`re looking for is body side molding. This place has a variety of sizes. http://www.customautotrim.com/products/ ... s/body.htm
