I've been looking, but not finding much on reproduction parts for restoration? Seem to find minimal parts here and there, most everything for the older cars. Trim items, body, emblems etc!! Any help would be appreciated. Help!!!!

 

Ummm, at the risk of offending, 1983's not really a very old car.

It takes a while for it to become profitable to make reproduction parts for a car.
Heck, there are hardly any repro parts for 1973's.

In the process of restoring mine, came out of the paint booth just recently. I was able to find original belt moldings, door handles and bumper emblem. Someone is reproducing header emblem.

What exact parts do you need?

I found some hard to find parts for my 84 on Gbodyparts.com. Very nice website. however, you need to make sure you put in the "parts" and not gbody. com otherwise you'll be in for quite a surpirse haha

 

By the way, how badly rusted was your roof from the T-Tops?

 

Actually, a header emblem & the molding down the center of the hood. Also tail light lenses.

 

No t-tops on this car. Only area w/rust is on the rear deck lid where spoiler bolts up.

 

No offense taken. That's what I meant, I know 83 isn't that old. When I said older cars, I meant the 60's to early 70's.

 

Curious what you guys are doing about the vynil tape striping. On my 77' pace car, took a bunch of before pictures, and had the painter properly line up the silver/black break points. Then had a pin striper paint the the red lines back on. Looks factory, and gonna stay that way, since no vynil tape striping was used. Do know a guy that can get hold of the 77' pace car striping and letters, so maybe something for Hurst Old's too. Dr. Decals, pretty good at reproing this stuff too. My brother, had an 83' Hurst, and I still have his factory 215-65-15 Eagle GT's mounted on storage rims. Sidewalls/lettering still look pretty, but not much tread.

 

There is a header emblem for sale on ROP. Check with user 88Hurstolds
