Windlace

[ArmyInspector]

I have a 69RR Coupe, anyone know how long or how many feet of windlace I need?

Don't know how long you need as when I bought mine it come already cut to length for 1968-70 cars.

just got it from one of the venders selling and I think it was Jamie from MEGA parts

They only sell black or white, I need blue and of course packages don't say how long, any chance you could measure yours and get me close. I found a company to order from but they sell by the foot and its expensive.

I think that's all you will find is black or white(when I bought mine 5/6 years ago) I got the black and had to paint it the F8 green.

I will measure mine and get back with the length of them.

OK my pinch weld covers are 2'6" each in length.

Awesome, no classic has windlace different colors, thanks for the help.

The stuff you are referring to is cloth covered and is not the right thing for 68-70 b bodies. I would buy the correct plastic ones and dye them the color you need with interior paint from Herb's Parts.

this is what the ad says, Featuring authentic vinyl grain texture, positive gripping power and rapid application, this flexible vinyl trim is ideal for classic car applications, it doesn't say anything about cloth, but I do know what your talking about as far as the cloth windlace.

Keep us posted when you get them. I will be needing a green set soon. I have not seen any original style reproductions other than black.

as requested hopefully these pics show up

 

[abodybill]

looks like you got one piece and have to cut it?

if so measure twice cut once

 

[ArmyInspector]

cheaper and safer that way, the big question was the type of windlace, I'm not an expert but it looks good to me.

It looks good to me, is it all plastic or has it got metal in it like the original. I bought some that is all plastic and I'm afraid it is going to shrink with heat.

has metal in the inside like the original
