Who makes/Sells the Best J-Molding for 67-68
« on: March, 19, 2010, 01:16:21 PM »
I just bought some outer grill molding "J", for my 68.  They are a piece of *#@!.  They said at Dallas Mustang, "Well noone has complained before.  That is *#@! also.  It is worse fitting the the drip rail trim that they are selling.

Please if you have found good stuff, let me know.

I haven't found any good ones either.  Is the one you have Corvex?  It wouldn't suprise me.  And the clips they send with them are junk also.  They break in your hand.

Try Colorado Mustang and get good salvage ones. The aftermarket ones stink. We have to massage everyone of them.

I'm going through this right now too.  I can't stand how crappy the Corvex stuff is.

Note to self, find some originals for Shag.  Have them straighten up and repolished.

Mine actually turned out pretty nice.  I'll have to post some sideways pictures, but here is my grill...

Grill and molding is all repro.  Fog lights and brackets original.

I used the standard corvex crap.  I had to massage a few pieces to fit, but they bent easy enough with no kinking.

That's kinda where I come from.  No, it doesn't just fall into place, but to say it's crap is an overstatement, IMO.  I was able to get mine on and looking great without too much effort.  It's basically right - just needs some tweaking for a perfect fit.
