Hey man, how have you been? I'm the one that bought the interior, wheels and bumper back in 2016. Had to promise the wife a trip to Niagara to get the parts, in the winter no less, lol. I can't believe you still have this thing, I thought it would have been gone long ago. Just goes to show you there are always parts people want no matter how small. That interior is going into my project next year. If you still travel to Allentown in the spring, I might be able to help out @ayilar with that windshield, if shipping doesn't work out.
Geez... I had to take Mrs. Big John to Niagara for the trip to Northeast, PA (actually in north west PA) to get the trim we split.

Anyone claim the brake lines/metering blocks yet? I'll take them if haven't been claimed or sold yet.
Brake lines from MC to block, to be more specific...although I will take the ones going to the wheels as well (front/rear).

@Dutchrebuild, it looks like the original factory side body rub strips are still there. Can you post a close-up of the ends? Are they in good shape? I've seen these V5X moldings coded on many a tag, but never seen originals in person, I believe these are stick-on and often discarded.
Good call on those items, and you're probably already thinking that they'll require CLOSE inspection for corrosion. But if they do turn out to be a bit "squeamish" to use, you still have a great template for bending your own new set on the bench instead of on your car.
For that matter, maybe you'll pass that template on to the next member who also needs to fabricate new lines. Just a thought!

I was hoping to use them but you are correct, they are old and if nothing else I would use them as a template. I don't trust reproductions as I've heard the quality control for the fitment is lackluster, and that point you might as well make your own lines.

James, those are just some universal side mouldings on his car.
I believe the factory ones were simply chopped off of a roll at various angles. They were actually quite crude. Here's a shot of some originals:
My friend has since removed them from the car because the left rear was damaged. If he still has them and they aren't put away up in his attic, I will see if I can take a close up photo.

how much for the rocker molding clips?
Did you notice that nice jack assembly? Here's what it looks like when cleaned up and in....the......trunnnnk.
That is aftermarket side molding.
Not uncommon and often added by the dealer on new cars. You'd buy a roll with the ends.
I bought a '73 Barracuda in 1974. One side had the factory side molding with the ends nicely molded in the trim and the other side had an aftermarket molding on it. It was a couple months before I noticed. The molding itself was a very close match.
I think it was a 3M product.
