Yes, and Yearone is a last resort. I know PG/BEA have them but I remember there was somebody else doing them first and quality was pretty high.

Although I've seen the PG/BEA B-body vert diecast pieces on a local car. And the fit if the E-body pieces is going to be similar is going to be unacceptable on this car

Remember, if the car doesn't have the chrome tim on top of the doors, the end pieces are differant for a Cuda and a Challenger.
The pieces offered out there are ususally only for cars with the top door trim package.

Are the ones still around that someone was making out of stainless steel? I need some for a '70 'Cuda 'vert.

Bill,

Jerome Verbit in PA was the first individual to offer these pieces for B/J applications. I got a set from him MANY years ago for my own car. I am not sure if he is still involved with this or not. The last phone number I had for him was 814-793-3647.

Y.O. can be a bit on the high side, but I got a set from them for my old '70 Challenger 'vert & they sent me a set of NOS ones. They claimed the parts were repros in the catalog and when I got them they had the correct Chrysler part #'s on them. They fit perfectly.

Harms / Domingo used to have a nice set, maybe Resto Rick carries them now?

No, Domingo no longer makes them.

I believe Mike Ross- BEA Parts has them.

I have been keeping a watch on this thread.
So you are saying I can not use the Challenger ones I had replated if I add the door mouldings like SE cars had? {and fenders,hood}
Sorry for the high jacked thread

The ones you're refering to probably came from us, I supply those to Year One along with the 70 & 71 Cuda. Unlike the other past offerings, the ones we made are injected pot metal and not a soft casting or brass. I'm also a B/E & A customer for the Cuda pieces, they're on my car and they fit perfect.

Wherever they came from, they fit SWEETLY!

jerome verbit was making them for year one..years ago...not sure who they buy from now...jeromes will not have the casting numbers on the back...but the quality is excellent...and yes the molding is longer if you have the moldings on the door because the molding takes up the whole 1/4 window area right up to the u moldings....
