Title: New to Forum need parts maybe you can help me
Post by: Matts70impala on June 16, 2016, 03:49:00 PM: Hi All,

My name is Matt and I am new to the forum. I am restoring a 1970 2 door Chevy Impala Custom. I have searched all over for some parts but I can't fine them, I am looking for Front and rear outside window trim, I found some in Canada but he wanted $75. to ship which is quite pricey for trim that weighs maybe a pound. I am also looking for chrome rocker trim, and the plastic dash items. I need all the lower parts with the heater controller and plastics to go along with it. If you could help that would be awesome. thanks for stopping and reading my post.

Welcome to the forum, don't know your location but I live right on the Quebec/New York border if I can help with a shipping or drop off point to get your parts moving from Canada.

BTW: Not sure what the dollar exchange rate is..but figure that in for any costs.

Ed

Rate is .77 - so $75 Canadian is approx. $57 US....
