This is the piece of trim that covers the pinch weld at the rear of the door opening. I see them for around $100 and it just seems like a lot of money for two small pieces of trim.
Wondering if you guys have paid that or opted for the less expensive "by the foot" stuff?

Re-used existing.  Doesn't sound like an option for you? They are on Epay from time to time.

I used some of the "by the foot" type stuff. (Don't remember if I got it from Ames or Classic.) It just doesn't have a nice finished end at the top. It's not real noticeable, the interior panel covers most of it, and since I don't sit in the back seat, it doesn't bother me.

Larry, I imagine yours were blue originally like mine? To be honest, I haven't looked much, but haven't been able to find any in the right Blue yet for my lighter Blue interior... If you have the originals and can use them for a little while. I'll see if I can check with a friend who owns a Muscle car parts place near me to see what he can come up with. If he can get it, he also ships...

Thanks guys. Of all the pieces I took off this car during disassembly these are the only two pieces I can't find. Seems that I had them out last fall and misplaced them. I am leaning towards the by the foot stuff for right now. I am pretty sure that is what was in there before although I don't see anyone offering it in a parchment color.

On one of mine I was only missing one side, and I kept looking for just one at the swap meets. I eventually just bit the bullet and bought the pair and replaced the old one with new as well.
