I know the pot metal check mark molding have been reproduced. My question is are the other two vinyl top moldings being reproduced? If so who/where do I get them? Thanks for any help!

The other two are stainless and tend to age much better than the pot metal ones. This is the main reason they aren't being reproduced just yet. How bad (or soon) do you need them?

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

I`m not in a real rush. I would like to find some in as near mint codition as possible. I bought the repro checkmarks and the other two moldings that are on the car are in pretty sad shape.

FWIW: The stainless ones you have will polish up like new. If they are dinged then it would take more work of course.

Evan if they have dings you are OK, I have have two complete set of stainless polished and a couple of them had a bad dent in them and they now look perfect. They charge the same to just polish out the stainless as they charge for some having some dents, at least the two places I have used. I was amazed at how perfect the dented pieces turned out, if you look at the back side you can see where there worked out the dents, but the top side the only side anybody will ever see looks like a brand new part.

How bent?  Are you talking about a 30 degree angle or folded back on itself and stomped flat?  I've seen some pretty bad stainless brought back from the dead.

They look "s" shaped rather than a nice sweeping curve. I have no problem polishing stainless, but once it is stretched beyond its original bend it rarely ever looks right when trying to make it right.
