BE & A has talked about it.  When Iasked about it at the nats, they said it was still a possibility.   I don't think it would be any less than $1000 a set.   Maybe more.

Doug that sounds reasonable since I would have no alternative. Im so happy my current car dosnt need any of the specialty parts. :angel:

You can make both top pieces if you don't mind using a 1" piece of stainless to connect.The driver side slides into the passenger side as do all top 68/70 b-body.The connecter piece can be cut off the 68/70 passenger side.Most would never notice the difference.The bottom pieces,good luck. :icon_smile_big:

Good info for the replicas .When I done it I need a original top piece .The piece I had was trash but the original.And used a piece and shortened and filed it

Bill,
Your car was the car I was trying to picture because i dont know of too many bird clones.

I remember that the Goldberg/YearOne Superbird had difficulties finding rear window trim, and they ended up using a late-model rubber window seal that had a chrome insert.

You've got a couple of ' non stock ' options here..
One is to take a template of the rear plug outline and have a piece of aluminum blank lazer cut to the correct width size perhaps with the Nascar vertical bands cut in..or not, another is take the pattern and pics to a specialized metal shop and have them make the trim on a pullmax machine with the step pressed in. Attachment possibilities can vary from hidden tabs to adhesive etc.

When I drove to wingcarfab to pick up a couple fenders that he had at his shop,  Jack was making a set for someone.  You could try him to see what he has in stock or if he still makes them.  Was a real nice guy to talk with.  Showed me around his shop and took a little chit chat time with me.
