Lou, good luck on the tail light lenses, those things make hens teeth look common.

So do you have a "buy it now" price? >>> Lou, good luck on the tail light lenses, those things make hens teeth >>> look common.

Jeff DeWitt Tell you what, first time I found some, they were $75.00 a piece - last time I found some, they were $150.00 a piece! Delicate little things, be sure to reinforce the ones you get around the inside of the screw holes before you put any on - they crack quite easily! And as anyone here will tell you, the new rubber gaskets are not quite as thin as the originals, making it fun to get it all put together. My 61 is back from the paint shop, I have the headliner in and will be working on getting the windshield back in today.

Looks like the headliner has to come out, which I'm hesitant to do because it's almost perfect and I don''t want to screw it up. Lou Yep, replaced the windlace - which you have to do first, then put the B pillar covers/panels in place, then the metal clamp/teeth strips to feed the headliner into... in other words, good luck getting the windlace in without taking the whole thing apart. It is held in place by triangle "teeth" or dags that are part of the body metal. They are pressed down over the edge of the windlace, and are well hidden behind the metal teeth strips that hold the edge of the headliner. My current issue is that the windshield rubber is smaller than the windshield. I am hanging it in the sun to see if I can get some stretch out if it.

Imight try to treat the rest of it temporarily, until I can get it replaced. Lou Mine was hard - cooked like that in the sun, I think.
