Hello, I am new to the club and I appreciate all of the information present here. I have just purchased a 1938 LaSalle opera coupe. It is complete, but in need of a total resporation. I will do most of the work myself. It will be a driver, not a show car. I have it apart and am in the process of looking for the things I need to make it presentable once again.  If anyone could help with locating the following items, it would be greatly appreciated - all weatherstripping and rubber body parts, running boards (if I can't find them, I will do without), dash trim (in particular, the piece in the center), and wiring harness. That's it so far. Thank you in advance for considering this message. I'll include photos as the project progresses further. Eric
