FOR SALE Reproducing weather-strips

[marty mopar]

I will be reproducing weather-strips for various Mopar vehicles.
I have found a place here locally that is doing them. I will be first
doing convertible and 2 door parts. Specifically, t-top, sunroof, and
convertible specific parts. The rest will come later.
This will include the belt, door, trunk, etc. weather-strips too. Complete
packages for these will run about 250 to 300 dollars depending on the
model/year. I have some NOS and used parts for the vendor to use.
As the project progresses, I will post updates. I do not expect any of these
to be ready until August.

April fools

He almost had me going for a second, then I remembered it was April 1st and it was that jokester Marty, lol

 

[marty mopar]

working on getting these done

Very cool.

The listing was started on April 1, so I can see April fools day - maybe - but the follow up yesterday has me wondering.
Any thoughts about 4-door versions?
I would think the more-door cars would be more expensive (more material used) - but would be a good seller.

I have a factory sunroof on my 77 volare. Would be very interested.

I will be interested for sure for my 1988 Gran Fury.
I'll take anything you can get.

Just got a call from the place that was doing these. Due to an electrical related fire some of the
equipment was damaged as were the molds. So that being said it might be never or a long time
before anything happens.

That sucks.

Will that eventually include the 4-door M-bodies? I also have a '76 4-door Coronet that could stand to have some side window wipers replaced, as well as my '87 Fifth Ave. & '87 Diplomat.

Man, that bites. Hopefully you and the shop can get the wheels rolling again. I see quite the boom on social media of people buying and restoring/building these cars.

 

[marty mopar]

the guy doing this has now gotten Covid and is going through a nasty divorce as he married a nut job

then again he has not made good decisions with his personal life

but that said he does good work with the auto parts business


dunno what is going to happen

 

[Ele115]

Maybe he should have someone else run the money side of it. LOL
