1963 Gas Lid Roller Door Numbers & Restoration

[Frederick H.]

- Attached photos of the current gas lid roller door on my March '63 Coupe. Numbers at bottom of bezel appear to be 3824701 & 63067?
- I was unable to find any mention of casting or part numbers in the JM or previous threads for an early '63 lid.
- Would like to find someone to restore this one if it is an original (Jerry Cribbs quit doing these some time ago).
- If not original, how do the current repros differ and where is the best source that you have found? Trim Parts?

Thanks in Advance,
Fred

Fred, looks like it is an original. I would not hesitate to leave as it is, appears to be in good shape, you may get a very small condition deduct.like 1 point? The reproduction is also nice made by Trim Parts, but the roller door is expensive.

Yeah, I checked Trim Parts - $300+ after shipping. I am using the judging sheets to go over the entire car to see how much work I have ahead to prepare for the October regional in Frisco, TX which will be my first. Lots to do and I have barely finished the Chassis section .

Thanks Ed.
