'63 windshield trim question

Is the lower stainless windshield trim the same for 1963 coupe and convertible?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, but only in '63; from '64-up, they're different.

Thanks! I don't see it listed in any parts catalogs. Is it not available reproduction?

Been through the experience of finding all the moldings for a 63 coupe and, other than the rear window corners, haven't found any moldings being reproduced thus far. Some vendors (such as Paragon) may have used originals though and you may want to check with them.

Thanks for the info, Rich. I looked at your page. Beautiful '67! I like the "pro-classic" style. Very well done.

Chris,

You're more than welcome. When it comes to garages you might want to check out JohnZ's garage.

If you are looking for 63 specific parts let me know as I've discovered a few sources when looking for parts for ours.

You should be able to use the 64 up if you change the clips. The 63 has a longer flange and uses different clips.

The 63 coupe is different from the 64, the ridge is on the lower edge on one and the upper on the other. So I assume fronmt the comment above, same goes for the vert.
