I have been reassembling my Series II car and have it nearly completely
restored. I have not been able to locate the door mouldings that but
against the A post/dash. Sunbeam specialties doesn't carry them (at
least not anything resembling the original). Any ideas on where I can
find them or how to make my own mouldings.

***** NOTES from JLAIFMAN (JLAIFMAN (at) PNM) at 8/11/95 9:55a
I have also had problems with the mouldings by Sunbeam Specialties. I
also got the ones from Victoria British. Neither stay on very well or
bend around the portion that curves down and around the dash portion.
In particular, the moulding keeps popping off at the point where the
windshield meets the dash. I would say, though, that the Sunbeam
Specialties product is superior. It also closely resembles the part I
took of my car when I disassembled it and to my knowledge was original
from the factory. I have not tried to glue it down yet because I was
waiting to see what else I might come across.
