I am about to rebuild my front suspension and could use these. I need to dig through my parts to see what I can offer up as well. If someone who has offered something up doesn't claim this first, I'll happily take it off your hands.

I'm going to dig around a bit tonight to see what I have. Mostly used parts, but many I will never use.

Thanks

CLAIMED

I thought I knew what these were, until I started searching Google to get the exact name and years they would work for. Then I realized that '73 and above fenders are molded with side vents, they aren't bolted in. So, I don't know exactly what I have here to offer. I did include the stickers on the rear with some info. If you can tell me what they are, you can have them.

I wonder if they were meant to bolt in and replace the egg crates on the 70-72... updating them to the new style

The PO gave them to me with all of the other misc. parts and the car I bought is a '72. So maybe???? I can't find them on Eckler's by searching the part number either, but one is a "R", so I assumed they were fender vents.

I'm sure a call to Ecklers, ask for the employee whose been there 20 yrs. He'll know what car they were designed for.

I'll take them off your hands-if nobody else has claimed them- and I'll throw something else up for grabs-

Haven’t been on here in a while. I happen to have these bonding strips left over from my project, and would love for them to go to a member who would put them to use. From a 76 vette.

Default Convertible soft window cushion

*** C L A I M E D by General Ike ***

I haven't been on the C3 section for a awhile since I sold my '68, but I wanted to participate in the PayItForward exchange.

I have a pillow for convertible top soft windows to prevent creases and the like.

I hope someone can use it.

Merry Christmas to all.

P.S. If I were to choose something in return it would be something that can be used for my '66.
