Hi all. I've been a member a while though not the most active one.
I'm doing a frame-off restoration on a 76 and I've been on the fence for a while now about whether or not to keep what I think was a sales floor add on to the car. The project car had side trim on it when I bought it and it looks like it's been there since day one. Would you keep it or not? Here is a pic of the type of trim I'm talking about. The car isn't a 914 obviously but the trim is very similar. Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.customautotrim.com-9787-1430373919.1.jpg) |

My 69 Pontiac came with that trim from the factory & the F & R side marker lights were integrated into them too, so it depends on the make & model - which I can't tell from the pic. Many cars from the 60's & 70's & 80's had them as base or optional. I'd look for some original sales docs &/or window sticker for this car - or look on evil-bay for an old dealer sales brochure on that make/model to see if it was an option. If you're trying to do a faithful resto, then you'll want to know if it was a dealer or owner/FLAPS add-on - or original base or optional equipment. If you're doing resto mod - then do what looks best to you. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
