I'm looking to repair the rust that is on my car.

and the same on the other side again.



However, for the wheel wells, I need to find the same kind of trim. The only place I've found that says they have trim that matches, is actually 1.5" wide!!! Not even close to matching what I currently have.



Does anyone know of a place I could start looking? From what I have found, this is a very rare car so finding parts has been a pain in the butt so far!! (and the few cars I've found are in way worse shape than mine)

anyone have any ideas? Physical locations? Online? Can I use a different year to get the same part?


Help?

If you can't find them.....make the patches yourself. Don't forget that buick shared a lot of components with oldsmbile, you may luck out finding the trim you need on a riviera or something.
Are you looking for panels to repair the rust? You can do as good a job with a mig and some tin and a little know how.

There's a place I know of in Montreal, Que. that'll custom make any panel that you need........let me know if you're interested:)

no no! I need the trim! I can do all the metal work and painting myself no problem, but I can't make the plastic/metal trim myself.

Just the stuff that follows the wheel well on the outside.

Damn, try calling Year One or LMC and see if they can't croos reference the part to something else.

Sorry that I couldn't be of more help...:(
