Wycked69 20 Report post Posted February 19, 2015 I'm sure we have all asked this question multiple times but has anyone heard if someone is looking to produce the stainless steel roof rail weatherstrip channel for the 69 - 70 sportsroof and or possible the 65-66 fastback. They make them for the 67-68 as I installed a new set on my car and they fit better than I thought. But in this day and age when more than one company is making parts for these cars, why in the world have "they" still not made these parts available. There has t be a market for hem considering all the restorations going on. I've talked with a number of people and they all agree they would pay good money for a quality set as often originals are beat up, tore, and distorted. All because no repo is available are available. I've not even heard a good rumor regarding the making of these by anyone. 1 Ronaldbaf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had some dents and dings but were usable, there must be some gold in them somewhere for the price there selling them for. LOL I called dynacorn and the person I talked with said yes we do manufacture the ones that we use on our body shells but we don't sell them. There's usually a set on eBay for the coupe but have never seen a set for sportsrooof. This is for the 69 sportsroof the other year models I don;t know about tho.

Wycked69 20 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Dave, If Dynacorn makes them for their body shells, I'd like to see them. Every Dynacorn 69 body shell photo I've looked at did not have them. They make the roof rail drip channel but I have not seen the weather strip channel. I've built many stamping and forming dies in my younger day but I've never built roll form dies or tooling.

The guy I talked to told me that they do make them but it would not be the first time I was lied to. This was about 2 years ago and he may not even knew the part I was referring too. So I don't know. I purchased a set from fast Freddy in Florida that he swore were for a fastback but when I got them they were for a coupe, The two are identical from the A pillar back to where they turn down at the 1/4 window. I was going to try modifying them by cutting and correcting the area where it turns down. Then I finally found a set for a fastback and sent the coupes back to fast Freddy. Bottom line is if all else fails I would not hesitate to modify a set from a coupe if I had to. You can find them for a lot less too. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wycked69 20 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Thanks Dave. I know just what you mean. There's been a number of times I've been on the phone with some of the vendors and it seems they will tell you "whatever" to either get you off the phone or to feed you some BS. I have seriously considered if I could not find a decent set or two reasonably priced for a sportsroof of having to buy a coupe set and look at what it would take to make it work. My Brother is needing a set as well as myself. I'm hoping Bob or Rchappelear can come through from their side. "Fast Freddy"....... that's funny! Was his name really Fast Freddy or just a term you use for a "Snake Oil" salesman? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
det0326 179 Report post Posted February 20, 2015 Funny you haven't heard of him, most people from all over the country knows of him by fast Freddy probably because it seems he can sell anything whether its right or not. I would avoid him. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
det0326 179 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 All due respect to fast Freddy tho he did promptly refund my money although I was out of the shipping cost back to Fla. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,113 Report post Posted February 21, 2015 Believe it or not Dynacorn has parts for sale they do not even know they have .I saw a listing for the 67-68 complete door opening in un welded form ,when i asked them about it they never heard of it ,until i gave them their own part number . It is possible they have the weather strip channel and call it something else . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DirtDog17 1 Report post Posted August 1, 2016 I am in a similar situation. My strips are severely smashed in multiple places. I read a comment that a set from a coupe could be modified to fit a fastback. Any additional details are appreciated!! Any chance the 67/68 Dynocorn would be able to modified? Thanks111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks111 Where are yours smashed? The ones from the coupe are the same from the front to back where the area or the rear qtr window is. Then where it turns down they differ. I have though about converting a pair. I think the easiest way would be to take a coupe pair and cut it at the proper place and then just have a seperate part down for the back parts for the qtr window. I suspect it may take a spare trim piece to get it done properly but that can be ok. If you have a show car then hold out for an original,pair, otherwise I would go for converting a coupe pair Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
