Thank you so much for those kind words. You almost made me embarrased!! I've read about guys making all kinds of restoration so I said to myself that can they do it, I can too!


Anyway, today I found a package from my friend Thord in southern Sweden. He has the best restored 1964 Valiants I have ever seen. He was kind to let me buy two pieces of locking strip that he bought as a spare for his nice Valiant. It has the right partnumber and it has the right profile. BUT, I need to make it in two pieces to go all the way around the glass. There is simply not long enough for al the way around the windshield. There for there will be some extra material left.

Should we make a joint venture here on FABO and have this unique piece reproduced? I'm pretty sure there will be a market for it. I don't have a clue about who can do it but with a good coordinator.....
