Scott Drake '64 1/2 -'65 Reproduction Side Cove "Handgrip mouldings". BIG FAIL!!

(1/3) > >>

NEFaurora:
Hey guys,  Just an FYI....

Don't ever go with Scott Drake's '65 Side Cove Mouldings.  They are absolute crap.  For some unknown reason Scott Drake decided to re-engineer the parts and it was a big FAIL! The back sides of the mouldings on both sides don't even conture to the side coves of the car and don't even resemble the back sides of the originals or even Taiwan Repros for that matter!!!  They are the wrong shape and lip.  A Really crappy Drake part.  Probably the worst Drake part that I ever came across literally.  I don't even know how they can sell and market these,  Stay away from these!    I rarely speak out bad on a part.....but I am speaking out on these.

I actually wound up going with cheaper Taiwan repops for these.  At least they fit correctly and had the correct conture of the Originals!!!!!!!

An EPIC FAIL for these '64 1/2- '65 Side Cove mouldings.  If you see them... Run the other way!!...and go with the Taiwan repops or good used originals instead.  At least they fit right!!  Scott Drake needs to completely go back to the drawing board on these pieces...because these are COMPLETE JUNK!

I would think there would be 1000's of these available in junk yards or on part cars, no?

Define "Side Cove Mouldings".

It may be "dialect" or "region" related. (In some parts of the country, a carbonated beverage has a name that will confuse almost anyone.)
On the other hand, the clues are:
- 64 1/2 and 65 use.
- side (that could be internal or external).
- Cove (an "indentation?)
- molding (it's visible)
The negatives:
- Handgrip (a shifter?)
- Side Cove (a geological feature found on Pluto by New Horizons?)
My conclusion:
- it's the scoop molding on the rear quarter.
- It's something else.
Jim ;)
