Window rubber question

Hi!!..I live in Fredericton NB..just took my '67 out for a spin yesterday!!...OK..Windshield you should be able to order through Speedy Auto glass or your local auto glass place...I replace mine about 3yrs ago and it only took about a day to get one from their(Speedy) warehouse in Dartmouth...as for rubber stuff..try:

They're in Vancouver..but if you can wait a week or so the shipping isn't that much(sometimes they have specials..where shipping is free for orders over $100.

OK..Hope you have a good summer with your bug!!

Hi Pat,

Had a look ast your website...it gives me hope for my beast. She has been painted and is waiting patiently to be reassembled...includung the motor. I also still have to make the decision as to whether I keep her

6v or switch to 12v.

I have had this car for close to 20 years...drove her for the 1st 2 years and then she died ...been resurrected a couple of times and now I just need the time and inspiration to complete.

Thanks for the tips.

Yes, but the car is in Salmon Cove, about 70 minutes from the city.

One Caveat. CIP1 is an excellent company with great prices. However, they carry all range of qualities of items. I only order branded items from them...or buy german if they indicate they have it. If you just order something with a generic description...you very well may wind up with a worthlessly low quality item. For rubber products, I would consider

Not the cheapest....but respectable quality and service. Or, at the least, call CIP1 and inquire what brand theyare selling on the specific product, and check back to the group on reccomendations. Again...they DO have excellent service, one of the BEST ordering and tracking systems I've ever used, ship timely with no surprises. I have been very happy with my CIP1 orders, but I haver never put myself in a poisition to recieve a product I wouldn't be happy with. I know the brand and quality of the piece I am ordering when I order it.
