Welcome, Hardy! Thanks for joining.
 Yes, you are allowed to post links to other sites here. We obviously aren't the only one out there, just the best. 😎 As for what you posted there: oh, following the link and see, you are in devcon3.
Lol! Devcon3! Thanks for your best wishes. This has been a lot more work than I ever imagined, and it isn't over. But my wife, Janey, has been very supportive and it is all going to work out well - regardless of how many show up. However, the initial indications are that there will be plenty, which will make it all worth it.
We are glad we are doing it as a show/swap meet this year as it will make next year so much easier. And better. Heretofore it has been a gathering of friends at our house, but now we can meet so many more people. So we are looking forward to next year when we get to meet you and all the others from outside the States - like maybe Christian?

Hardy - Are you looking for a NOS E1TZ9929076-AA, meaning New Old Stock? I ask because I have a piece I'll let you have. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty good. It is the top of the two with rubber in this picture:
 And the only thing that is wrong with it is a small scrape on the rear bottom part, as shown below:  If you want more pictures I can do that and either post them here or email them to you. But it is yours for the shipping if you want it. Or, I've found it online at a couple of places and have requested pricing. Otherwise, I haven't found any.

almost 3 weeks working in spain, I'm back home.
   I painted the bed with a flat black chassis paint. but I'm not happy with that. I think a coat in the original car color will look much nicer. I have to made the coat myself 'cos most of the US paints are no more alowed to use/import to the EU countries. we have the Polyurethan coats. I thought I use a clear PU base, mix it with a paint tone I need and then, to have the rough effekt I have to add some gravel, maybe rubber or somethinglikethat. any sugestions? or is that bulls*it ? hardy @gary, do you still have the parts? |

Welcome back! Did you cause the Catalonians to secede?
 On the paint, there are bed-liner paints, at least here in the US, that can be tinted. Can you get them, or something like that, in Germany? As for "the parts", do you mean the top piece that has the rubber in this pic?  Yes, I still have it. But, remember that it has a small flaw, as shown below:  I did find a place that had one of them NOS. It is $75 plus shipping, but I don't know if they'll ship to you or if we'd have to have them ship to me and then I'd re-ship to you.

Hardy - I've now cleaned the part, and if your other trim is NOS then I wouldn't put this one next to them. But, if your other pieces are used and less than perfect then maybe. It depends on how far you are going with your work. But, for the shipping I'm not sure I'd go with this used one. However, if your other parts aren't perfect then placing a perfect NOS piece next to them will point that out. It is a tough call, and you won't hurt my feelings whichever way you want to go.
The first problem is that there's a mottled look overall that may be water spots that didn't come off with a light polishing, or it could be that the anodizing isn't even. Anyway, you can see it in several of the pics below. Then there are two places that are scratched and/or dented. Here's an overall pic, with the places pointed out with arrows:  Here's the one on the top rear, which is the one pointed to by the orange arrow:  And these three pics are of the one on the lower front, as pointed to by the red arrow:
