rumble48 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I'm in the process of having my 48 coupe painted, and I am trying to assemble replacement rubber for the doors, trunk, etc. The car had also piece of welting installed between the cowl and rear of the hood. The material is not rubber, but rather looks woven. Is this a stock piece? If so, are there any known sources.... and if not, what keeps the hood from moving around, and /or scratching the new paint?

mrwrstory Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I'll be watching for input from others for the correct part. However, I have seen a early Ford restoration piece that looks to be the same or very close. Quote

Uncle-Pekka Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I bought that cowl welt from Andy Bernbaum's 2 yrs back. Got the original spec fabric woven stock, has two rubber strings inside. Works well and looks right. A-365......Cowl lacing, original size and style.........................$12.00 /ea. Quote
rumble48 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 Thanks for the info, I will give those folks a try..... here's a pic of the plymouth before paint. the new color will be close to the stock 'convertable only' cream yellow..... It will probably be September before it is complete, I will repost with the after...... Quote
