I just picked up a '59 Fury 2-door hardtop that I am going to use the body shell for the SF I am restoring, it will save me much work even though I have already welded in complete floors and trunk section in the original body. there was a complete extra set of 2-door Fury trim in the guys garage that came with the car. I want to see these pieces go to a good home, and am putting them for sale here. if anyone needs a particular piece I will check the condition and let you know. Also, I guess that I will need to sell the floor and trunk floor from the old body to make room for the new one in the shop. —John
hi John. how does the anodizing look on those pieces? i recieved the fuel sending unit you sent , i’ll try it out this weekend. your 57 fury sure looks good.
curt from winnipeg
Hi Curt, Glad to hear the sender made it to you OK. Please let me know how it works when you install it. The anodizing on the aluminum trim is bright with no oxidation. A couple of the pieces have some light primer overspray, which would probably clean up with a bit of lacquer thinner. —John
Hello John;
Will the door trim work on a Sp Fury Convert? Is it the chrome trim that goes on the top of the doors and back windows?
Thanks
Craig
Hi Craig, these moldings are for a regular Fury, and will not work for a Sport Fury, as they are different. These are all the side trim and inserts. Hope this helps, John

I am sorry I thought it was interior trim pieces not the outside pieces lol. I need the interior pieces badly. My outside trim is in great shape. Ok thanks for the reply. I know someone somewhere in a galaxie far far away has the chrome door pieces I need, I just need to wait him out.

Hi Craig, most of the interior chrome garnish pieces will have some rust pitting. If you are planning on re-plating the pieces, you will come out with a better job by using the ones from another 2-door hardtop model with painted ones. You can strip the paint off, and the plater will not have to deal with pitted metal. The end result is quite noticeable.—John

HI;
Someone out there in the world has a new or used set, that is perfect, just waiting for me to find them, I can wait. Time or money is not the problem. Finding that special set is. But I will ![]()

need solid trunk floor. some tail lights if u got 'em. floor won’t work, i’ve got a sedan. oh well. what part of cali? i’m in tracy (car’s in OK)
I have a nice solid trunk floor section, but most of the extra taillight housings I have are pitted. I am in williams, Ca. which is about an hour and a half’s drive from Tracy. If you wish to come up and have a look around, please call me at [530] 473-2225. I am around most of the time, but not always near the phone.—John
i am out on workman’s comp disbility 4 my back so i have plenty of time. just say when, address, and i’m there. thanx
and price so i have money in hand.
hey john,
i just happened to think about my rr 1/4 panel. it has some body damage, it is repairable, but if i can refrain from bondo i would like to. just wondering if u have a spare that’s straight and rust free. mine is rust free, just crumpled up pretty bad. i will bring the only pic i’ve got of her. look forward to hearing from u. l8terz.

Hi Jeremy, I will be out here all weekend, after 10 a.M each day. I will only be near the phone between 8 and 10 A.M. both days, so call me then if you need directions. The main yard where I’ll be is right next to I-5, and is fairly easy to find. The trunk section is 500.00, including the drops on both sides and the tail panel. Not sure if I have any good quarters, But we can take a look at that time. Look forward to hearing from you, John
that is a pretty good chunk of change, new sheetmetal is about that same cost. i think is is like $540 or something like that for the trunk. i am a little poor so no way i can afford that. like i said i am out of work and my workman’s comp checks have not started coming in yet. i was hoping for something more around $100. all i need is the lower section, the top section is in perfect shape. no leaks around window, i think the water came from the trunk lid or rather the seal. maybe we can make a little bit lower agreement, but i don’t know when i will have the money. i would hate to see perfectly good sheetmetal go to waste.

I can understand where you are coming from, but the aftermarket pieces are not the same, and unless you have unlimited time to modify them to fit, the best way to go is generally with original parts. The replacement parts are only partial as well, and not the complete assembly. The car these are in is inside a building, so I can assure you that they are not going to waste. —John
that is good to know. i have been bouncing around the idea of just getting flat stock and get one of those fancy, smancy tools that put the creases in them for support, especially for the trunk. i think i might go the replacements for the inside, those r not quite as expensive. my goal for total cost of getting the car back on the road and looking good(as good as a daily driver can get) at around the $5,000 range. i will scavange what parts i can out of the junkyard off of newer mopars and modify them to work. the motor i even hope to find out of a late-model wreck. no sense in putting so much money into a car that ur afraid to drive it (i know i’ll get razzed 4 this comment, but i am on a VERY limited budget). thanx for ur time john. btw, u talk as if u have several cars, do u own a small yard?
No Problem! I do have a business here salvaging '50’s and '60’s cars. My inventory is about 700 cars at this time, with about 7 '59 Plymouths. —John
