Title: 1959 Sedan Deville Six Window - rear body wiring channel covers
Post by: BillR. CLC # 29203 on January 08, 2020, 09:24:44 PM
Greetings!!!
In need of two(2) floor mounted wiring harness channel covers for the rear passenger area.
Attached is a picture of the crusty ones removed.
Thanks in advance to those of you that might have them "on hand" and would be willing to part with them or others that might know a person or a source.

Would not be all that difficult to replicate.

Bruce,
That's my son's fall back plan.
He's so far into the process he's working hard to keep it as original as  possible.
Thanks.

G'day Bill,

Well, originally the part was a lump of rock, then after the furnace, it was a lump of steel, then it got rolled and thinned, then pressed and painted.

Making one would just replicate the original creases, and having the old ones, replication shouldn't be hard.   Just easier to have originals.

But, seeing as yours are a bit rusty, it wouldn't be too hard to simply cut out the rusty bits, and weld on new metal. ;)

Bruce. >:D

Bruce,
How you doing with the fires?
As for the rusty/crusty pieces, by days end we might have a lead on original replacements, condition as yet not known.
Thanks.

G'day Bill,

Fires are 100 miles North of us, but we had a couple of fires lit by Arsonists a couple of miles to the South East.   They should be strung up, quarted and then given to the sharks, but that too would be too good for them.

Bruce. >:D
