Calling ALL Valiant "Toadwagon" Owners! 1960-1962
This is a trumpet call for all of us who are lucky enough to own Toadwagons.
I'm looking into the possibility of reproducing the "Rear Quarter" (cargo) window rubber moldings, since I have yet to be able to locate an NOS pair, or a full replacement molding. They have a unique trapezoid shape and some fairly impressive transitions.
I'm in the early planning stages, so no promises yet, but if any 60-62 Valiant or Lancer wagon owners would like exhibit some confidence enough to raise their hand to say "Yes, if you reproduce those, I'd like to buy a pair", let me know now! This same message is posted on SS.org and other forums I can find.
We are far fewer in numbers than most of the other slants & A-bodies, so I'd need as many of you as possible on board. I have no idea of cost yet. But just to get a quote, I need to gather materials together, and then get an idea of interested parties.
For more specific questions on this topic, please PM me.
Thanks!
