Fillers between body and bumpers

[Roger Zimmermann]

I should supply for a 1979 Eldorado a rear filler kit between bumper and body. There was once a supplier named Sandkindustries, but it seems that this company is no more a supplier for those parts. The sole delaer I found with fiberglass fillers is Caddy Daddy.
There was once somebody offering flexible fillers but I forgot his name.
Are there other alternatives for those parts?

Hello Roger:

The original flexible fillers were made from a polyurethane
compound.  To my knowledge, these have not been offered for years now.  All of the replacements now available are made
from ABS plastic,fiberglass,or similar rigid material. 
When I replaced the fillers on my 1973 Eldorado (that was 20
years ago) I used a mix of original (NOS) fillers and ABS
plastic. Once they are on the car, the difference is not
noticeable.

Last year I ordered the so-called soft plastic fillers from Cadillac King (or Kingdom?) for a 1977 DeVille, but they weren't all that pliable. However, they were far better to work with and fit perfectly. The fiberglass items fit terribly and needed a lot of grinding/shaping to get them to work. The paint on the fiberglass parts came out nowhere near as well.

Thanks for the comments. Even if the kit is about $ 50.00 more expensive than the fiberglass one, I ordered on eBay an ABS kit.

How things have changed. When I was younger you would go to a junk yard and pull a part and the guy would say, give me 5 bucks. now you go online and see, screw that holds on a door handle $ 4,258.63.
