We the PI swapmeet worked out pretty well today and I picked up several pieces that I will need for the car.
I bought a set of new door handle clips. They are made of breillium copper and will not rust. My existing ones are toast. I also bought a new set of wipers, and manifold gaskets. Also a reproduction duct tubing for my car. All of these were PI local chapter projects. Very nice pieces. The ducting, wipers, and gaskets were pretty inexpensive in price. But very good quality. The door handle clips are very expensive. But I never realized that a 4 door car used for different clips. Each clip is slightly different. So therefore the production cost are high on those as they had to make four different sets.
The last thing I found was the final power door switch I was missing. Not I have a complete set of switches (from a 55/56 model year) which I will adapt to use an aftermarket power window kit with.
I also picked up a NOS Delco-Remy breaker plate from ebay. It was still sealed in the D/R container. I had to break the seal to inspect the parts.
