    Man the hood's almost long enough for the other roofrack. :D It's my Noah syndrome acting up again - 2 of everything.:biglaugh:

    Wouldn't that look interesting in an ad? ... dual exhaust, quad speakers, dual roofracks...:evilsmile:

    I just read an article yesterday saying Mayor Bloomberg of NYC, probably one of the top ten richest men in the country, only has two pairs of shoes and they're around 10-15 years old. He just keeps getting them resoled and reheeled.

    Tedy, when I saw those pics, I thought Norm had found your pieces. I'm psyched for you 442, but bummed for Tedy. He's been looking for so long!

    It's all good Snoot, the hunt goes on.....

    I'm also psyiched for 442, my piece is the same nomatter what colour the interiour because of the wood look. But for 442 thats another story, our Crwezers had several interiour colours, and he got a colour match, extra bonus!

    Ok Tedy:

    I talked to my dad last night and he claims to have located three (3) of these door handle screw covers in the correct color you are seking. I just have to confirm I don't need one of them and if you want one or all three, let me know. How does $6 each sound? will keep you posted once he gives me the box of extra parts he has. I will also post my craigslist thread link in the for sale CL section on the forum.

    If it's for an 87 Buick Wagon, I believe they were all the same color from at least 1986 thru 1990. I only say that because the extra ones I have are pulled from my dad's 1990 estate wagon before we junked it and they match the 1986 covers. If you can send me a decent photo of the part I will double check it. I can try yo send you a photo, but we just got a new computer (IMac) that I am not entirely sure how to use it yet (PC guy). Send me what you need and let's go from there.
