Belt moulding trim clips
73 Newport, got into a parking lot “boo boo” that left a crease in the passenger side rear door and pealed off the belt line trim.
I’m pretty sure I can massage out the dent & repaint it to hide the damage (textured bed liner paint), the only problem is locating the plastic retention clips for the trim moulding. They measure approximately 1.25″ x 1.5″, and are held on by what looks like rivets.

I’ve already yanked the extra plug in the water pump housing to…
ACGlobal heater cores?
Got my “stimulus” check, time to throw some of it at the Turd. ACGlobal (a.k.a. ccsautoparts on eBay) has offered me $10 off for a heater core I’ve been watching to fit my 73 Newport. Before I click Add To Cart, I wanted to check back here to confirm the fit. It seems that sometime ago, someone worked with them to help put together a part (AC or HC) to ensure fitness without having to grind or hack anything up. Now I can’t find the post.
