Looking to try and source the following for my 67 Fury 4dr sedan: -window fuzzies -door (4) weatherstripping -door bumpers -under hood bumpers -glass channel run/weatherstripping
I have looked at most common sources around and lots of 2dr fasttop stuff. Would that stuff work if cut down to fit the 4dr? In Southwestern Ontario we have FACCA in London and NOS in Kilworth, anyone with a 4dr have any luck elsewhere?
I looked around for some weatherstripping for my 68 hardtop and the only place that knew anything was http://www.steelerubber.com/ Like you said all the other places had allot of stuff for fast tops or convertibles but not the hardtops. It may be a good place to start. They can also tell you what other years or models will fit in your ride.

Restoration specialties has window fuzzies listings for the seedan. http://www.restorationspecialties.com/beltws.htm I dealt with them last summer and I am pleased with their product. Part # 200611 with stainlees steel bead on the window fuzzies Part # 200612 with black bead. Both are for 65-68 C body sedans. They do not have the door weatherstrips for sedans--yet.
I bought my door bumpers and under hood bumpers at National Moparts. Surely Bob you may have dealt with Nigel and his team before. http://www.nationalmoparts.com/ As of now,I do not know of any source for the glass channel runs. Hope this helps.

Went into London this morning and picked up the body bumper kit. It is for a "B" body, but the rubbers are the same for the "C" body, may have to grab a couple more door bumpers. Got the fuzzies, they are the 4' lengths and will have to use flat screws to put them in. The headliner and windlace have been ordered. The weatherstripping and glass channel he is looking for. The weatherstripping shape is the same as the "B" body, but the wider piece that goes around the top inner corner of the door we can't match. I think what I will do is keep that piece from mine and fit it into the weatherstrip if he can get the weatherstrip in bulk. We can match the clip holes and fit the other part into the upper channel. I used N.O.S. in Kilworth Hgts. I will let you know about the weatherstrip if I can get it. The other two pieces I needed were the hood to cowl and the weatherstrip under the hood near the windshield and I have located them at Metro Moulded Parts in the U.S. Thanks to all for tips..........

Just got word from a friend in the U.S. He tells me that another 67 Fury owner may have a supplier of NOS weatherstripping for the doors. If the info pans out I will post it here..............

BINGO...........thanks to another car owner in the U.S. and 68Charge's post, I have the source for the weatherstripping. Restoration Specialties in Pennsylvania is going to be doing them.
I just mailed them a front and a rear weatherstrip this afternoon and they will be doing them. Turn around time about 2-3wks and then they will be available to all. The guy I spoke to in Delaware had them do a set for his Belvedere and he says they look better than the originals.
Again their website www.restorationspecialties.com if you are having problems finding something I would call them 814-467-9842 they were great to deal with.

Bob,that is good news. The guys at Restoration Specialties are good people and are not afraid to step up to the plate. You just have to be patient with them but well worth the wait. You won't be dissapointed.

made me door weather stripping for a 67 4 door HT. Cannot confirm on the fit yet, but I sent my originals as a pattern, so tehre is at least a chance this will work.
