Re: [T3] Rear door hinge covers and weird trim

[Russell Wolfe <russella@netins.net>]

I have a '69 SQbk parts car here that has the hinge covers intact. I am not
sure if the air boxes are the same, but it is still in the car. As for the
chrome below the door, I would eliminate it. That is where most of the moisture
gets in that rusts out the rocker panels. Just fill the holes and forget it.
I have pictures of my parts car on my web page.
