'63 Arm rest cores needed.

[RoyG]

Working on getting the new interior installed now that the repainted body is back on the totally rebuilt chassis.  I sent the four arm rests out to be reupholstered and the shop lost them!  Trying to find both the front and back ones in decent condition.  By "decent" I mean only needing new vinyl, not seriously water damaged or warped.  Hoping one of the memers saved a set from a '64 that was parted out.

'63 or '64?  AFAIK the rear arm rests are the same for both years, but the front arm rests are a little different on top.  Perhaps, hopefully, either year could be used for your car.

If you work with Meyer's, make sure you get price first.  He was able to supply me with some rears, but since we did not discuss price ahead of time, I just about had a heart attack when I got the charge.

The same goes with Dan Booth. He has a habit of quoting one price and then when you get the invoice it's much higher (like heart attack higher), so I now pin down the price with all the sellers.

I purchased carb kit from SI last week… $69 in catalog…. $99 plus shipping upon arrival!

Yes, always inquire current price.
