WANTED 71 Polara 2dr Body side moldings

[71Polara383]

I am looking for a nice used or NOS full set of 6 body side moldings with black inserts for my 71 Polara Brougham 2dr. I figured I would at least see what is available before I decide to remove the molding all together like I plan to.

 

[polara71]

You didn't want them when I offered

I remember you said you had some NOS moldings. Which ones do ya got? Full set?

 

[polara71]

Probably not. I have a tube of NOS 70s and another tube of NOS 71s. I think I don't have doors. ...
I have a pile of fender moldings

I bought the quarter panel... I want the metalwork done on the Brougham before I start putting the GT back together.

 

[polara71]

ok ... thats a start ....

All the Body side moldings should cost about $800 - $1000.

And that is my issue with the BSM. I could put that money towards vinyl top carpet and headliner. Or the cylinder heads. I can justify spending on a whole panel that is going to save me a ton of work and headaches. Im on the fence though. Ive seen some cars without and most with and i cant say if i actually prefer one over the other. Scott said ill regret removing them...but does it even matter the car wouldve been parted anyway

That isn't that bad, I don't know what @marty mopar is gonna charge, but that looks like you'd be in around the low end of Dave's estimate. Take a picture of Wildcat and Photoshop the side trim on or off, stare at both, side to side or top and bottom format. Do that for a week, then decide. I'm probably bugging you, just to bug you. A year ago I said I'd never do a full restoration on a car, yet I bought one knowing before I'd even seen it, that I'd be restoring it before I ever drove it. I also said I'd never go the stock route on a car, and I've done that this year too. I blame this site, but I'm all the better for it.

It's your car, do what you want, it's not like the paint will be correct.

 

[polara71]

On my first car the intent was to remove them, eventually run doggies maybe that was in 1983. Fast forward to around 2000 when guys startled to take notice of Cs . Many Polaras were left without their BSMs. Usually because it is easier and cheaper.
My opinion is every effort should be taken on this Brougham since you are doing all this other effort.

The BSMs will be part of your finishing touches , why worry now? Leave the pins, if NOS metal , install them.
Your heads, top, interior will be done long before the need for moldings.
