Touch Points: Door Handles, Hood Latches & Body Moulding
The door handle is the first thing you touch when entering your classic. If it's pitted, loose, or drooping, it sets a bad tone.
Hardware Solutions
-
Door Handles: We stock authentic NOS and NORS Exterior Handles with triple-chrome plating and strong internal springs to fix that "floppy handle" feel.
-
Hood Latches: Safety first! A worn secondary safety catch can lead to the hood flying up at speed. Replace worn latch assemblies and pilot bolts.
-
Moulding Clips: The most annoying part of paint work is finding the clips. We carry the weird, specific metal and plastic clips to attach your stainless side trim.
The Jewelry of the Car: Hood Ornaments & Emblems
Nothing defines the Art Deco and Jet Age eras like the elaborate Hood Ornaments and Emblems. These are the crown jewels of your restoration.
NOS & NORS Trim:
-
Hood Ornaments: From the 1930s "Flying Ladies" to the 1950s "Jet Planes" and Gunsights. We stock hard-to-find castings and inserts.
-
Emblems & Scripts: Fender model names (e.g., "Galaxie," "Impala"), trunk lock covers, and grille badges.
-
Cloisonné: We look for emblems with clean, un-faded enamel work to ensure your car pops at the show.
Seal Out the Elements: Vintage Weatherstripping
If your classic car whistles on the highway or leaks when you wash it, your rubber seals are toast. Weatherstripping is essential for protecting your interior from mold and rust.
Complete Sealing Solutions
-
Door Seals: The main rubber loop around the door frame.
-
Roof Rails: Seals for hardtops and convertibles where the window meets the roof.
-
Window Felts: Also called "Cat Whiskers" or beltline weatherstrip—these stop windows from rattling and keep water out of the door.
-
Trunk & Hood: Bumpers and seals to prevent rattles.
