Are you talking about the door edge or along the body line of the door?

... I found the trim that goes down the door. Did they come with that or it is a add on. It the trim with rubber to protect the door.

Along the body line of the door, it had the door edge guards but I dont think I will use them

There were holes all along the body line that those mounted in to?  Right?  Hang on to them.  They are rare and I do not think anyone is reproducing them.

The person that done the body and paint  filled in the holes, at least the door is smooth now.

While the molding helped prevent door dings, I always thought the door looked much cleaner without them.  My  :alan2cents:

Bought mine from Y1 but it dont look like that, a single tube connects to the filler neck, goes through the trunk floor and turns toward the tank, 383 car

I know this is way back but read thru the thread last night and thought I would post how my vent tube was.....in the end it vents into the frame rail...........and these are OLD pics before I did a lot of work..........

I put my motor in today, The fastest way to do it is from the bottom. Only took about a hour. Yes I could have put more parts on the motor before I installed it but I wanted to see it in place. I have a dolley I made to hold the motor and tranny. If anyone can use it come and get it (free) all I ask is when you are done give it so someone else that can use it. I used a old bumper to raise the body.

So, I get to the point to install the drive shaft, I thought what the heck, I have replaced everything else on the car what not the universal joints. SO I go to a auto-part store and bought them, but when I installed the first one the c-clip would not go on, one did of course but the other would not go into place. SO I went to another auto-parts store got another brand and it fit perfect. So while I was under there I decided to go ahead with the exhaust, Driver side PERFECT, pass side not so lucky. As you all know I bought this car with a bucket load of new parts,WELL the manifold did not match the header pipe. When I lined up the pipe it could have been a T/A coming out the side LOL. So I guess I will contact Accurate Exhaust for the correct one.  Be glad to get this baby done.
