    Oops, didn't know that was an old question on wheels but the link has the info.

    As far as fuzzies, I don't know if hardtops had them on the interior door molding. 55 and 56 Nomads didn't have them, but 57 Nomads did. I don't know if that's the case for 57 hardtops too. Madmooks sells them for Nomads and can be used on 55-56 Nomads.

    I googled and found these for 55-57 Hardtops, but again I don't know if any 55/56 ever had them.

    This might be what you need....

    You could also ask Mike at Madmooks if he'd sell you just the whisker strips, or where he gets them.

    Hey Ya'll,

    I've been trying to call and I went by their shop and I can't get a hold of them!! This is the Danchuk's local vender in my area. They're in Concord Ca., does anyone know of a good Danchuk vendor in the S.F. Bay area? Thanks!!!

    What are you trying to buy? Is there some reason you want to find a local vendor, instead of just ordering online?

    Hey Cnut,

    I'm just looking at parts and the one item Interior Door Trim from Danchuk is $250ish for the whole set front and rear, the other shop is $250ish just for the front trim. That's a much better deal from Danchuk! I've already looked at the list you supplied and the Concord deal was closest only 15 miles and I've bought stuff from them in the past. Now it looks like I'll have to go further away to get stuff!!!

    Hello All,

    I've been painting my interior trim lately. I'm using Rustoleum Pro Gloss Black, I'm having problems with it after painting and letting dry for a week or two I'm trying to color sand it and then rubbing it and it turns uneven. Does anyone have a paint that they use for painting trim work? Thanks!!!

    I don't think any rattle can paints are meant to be color-sanded and buffed. They just go on too thin for that. I'd just spray the paint and let it dry glossy. If you can't get it like you want, use some automotive single stage urethane enamel.
