Call Jerry's classic cars. If there's anyone in the country to know everything you need, it's him. Jim

MtWilsonboy,
    The reason I said to call Jerry's Classic Cars is that you need to know him. I mean you really need to know that guy. He restores fliptops, 1957-1959. Like Rich said, Dennis Carpenter is the one that makes the parts but knowing the guys at Jerry's Classic cars will be a tremedous help in restoring a fliptop. And he'll take the time to explain things to you. I believe he's the guy that paid a bunch of money to have the only set of fliptop luggage in existance copied by a luggage company. He was the one also I believe that started reproducing the fin stainless.  Good luck on you restoration. Jim
