Tom Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I have seen the trim at the window both thin (approximately 1/8") and wide (approximately 1"). I have both but am not sure which is correct for a 70. Also, did the 70 come with a passenger side mirror as an option? Thanks, Tom
Canuck Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 The thin belt molding is standard equipment, the 1 inch wide belt molding was an option. The passenger side mirror was also an option.
Rob Peters Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 Tom, The wide trim you mention was an option but I thought if the option was ordered from the factory the narrow chrome on the window felts was not also put on but I don't know that for sure. Regarding the passenger side mirror, to the best of my knowlege it was not an option but I don't want to state that as a for sure. I have one of the GM Restoration packages up in the garage with my car and will have to check the option listings to know for sure. Rob
7tonemonte Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 I have the wide belt molding option on mine and as Rob said there is no thin chrome strip on the actual window "fuzzies" Tony
Mike Brichta Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Hi Tom, If you decide that you don't want to use the 1" moldings, I might be interested in buying them from you. Thanks, Mike
Big Jim Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Goldie has the wide beltline moulding and the mirror on the passenger side. She also is equipped with power windows but she's not a custom. I guess it could have been part of a 72 package.
jstadter Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I recently bought a driver's door that had the wide molding. As Rob and Tony said, there's no narrow chrome trim with the wide molding. One interesting thing I noticed when I removed it was that there was a Z38 (could have been Z58 - I'd have to check) stamped into the door behind the felt. Does anyone know if that was the option number for that trim? Mike - if you're interested in just the piece for the driver's door, let me know. Jim
Mike Brichta Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Hey Jim, I would be interested, so I sent you an email. Thanks!! Mike
RARE MC Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I am looking for window felts again. The last time I looked (1984) they were so bad I thought I would try to restore mine. In need inners and outers for the doors and quarter windows. I have 6 long ones and maybe 2 of them I picked up at a junk yard (or do they go somewhere else?). Mine have the stainless steel beads and trim. Anybody doing a good job of making or restoring these? Tom
RARE MC Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Do Montes and Chevelles use the same felts? I thought the Monte door was longer. This site shows the same for both: http://www.ecparts.net/Wstrip.htm#Window%20Felt%20Sets
RARE MC Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 Anybody done business with these guys? http://www.autoobsession.com/RestorationParts/WS-MC.html
RARE MC Posted June 15, 2006 Posted June 15, 2006 I see Original Parts Group has this stuff too. I can go over there and they'll show me stock.
