Charlie brings up a godd point, I will bring up another. AMC
commonly sold their stripes individually. Yes, you coulc get a "kit" whihc might
include (in Gremlins' case) six pieces. But I had bought out many dealerships in
late 80s and most boxes had only one piece. One part number, one piece. Why? For
repairs, collision shops, dealerships, it was bigger market up for AMC to sell
that way, and few people wanted.....or would need... a complete kit. You still
see dozens of these at bigger AMC meets for sale, even ebay. Best thing about
them is you can make a template with it and make your own.
NOS stripes and decals. Warning, while not really of dubious
quality back then (AMC used mostly 3M....same shit Phoenix Graphix and others
use in 2007) the problem with NOS stripes is that they usually last 3-5 years on
your car once installed. They have been tossed around, dragged to swap meets,
stored in warehouse, exposed to cold, heat, humidity, varmints, whatever. So
suddenly you apply one to your $3k paint....and discover a few years (or months
in Texas case) that they are peeling.....or cracking....or both.
Plan on showing your car? If it is out in the sun....old El
Sol will take them out. Quick. And the hotter the areas of the US....the
quicker. So the more you show your car, especially in warmer climes....the quick
it will deterioiate.
This can also be applied with carpet sets, and some interior
parts AMC used, especially by Wheel Horse...whom they would later buy to
manufacter their own interior pieces.
So while it may be NOS...as I commonly tell people
daily....not all that glitters AMC NOS is gold!
