Guys
I couldn't agree with you more,if these are repro trims and I think the general feeling is that they are,the quality of the Steve Herron ones was always up there and would definetly be fine to use and definetly way better than any current offerings on the market.
I will still hang out for the last few remaining pieces I need since I am over halfway there already.......good things come to those that wait and those that know me,know that I am patient and anal enough to wait for the correct stuff.
53oval......I think you might have just lost the farm......
I see that the add has been edited accordingly.

Since I'm down to the small detail pieces for reassembly of my 1949 deluxe, I thought I'd add pictures of what I believe to be OE trim that was on my car when I got it.

There are some interesting details like the closing blocks, cut edge on the bottom for drainage, and the ribs on the bottom, and the stamped crimp to hold the closing block in place.

Amongst all the pieces on my car, there were distinct left and right rear quarter pieces due to the drain area.

I need to replace one door and one quarter piece if anyone has one for sale Very Happy

Here you can see the marking on the block that shows the open end and where the crimp should be.

Compare these to the other pieces currently for sale.
