I,AM LOOKING FOR COMPLETE BLUE DASH AND WINDOW MOLDINGS FOR MY 52 HORNET 4DR THEY MUST BE IN GOOD CONDTION. I HAVE THE BROWN DASH AND WINDOW MOLDINGS FOR POSSIBLE TRADE.

Vintage Coach had a set of blue window molding. Check with them to see if they still have them.

Who is it that can repaint these moldings in that unusual pattern? I think it's called "cracked ice" or "leather grain"

I have done leather grain, albeit with the typical brown tones. I used the Grain-It technologes method. You have to completely remove dash and components to be leather-grained (that is the pattern for these cars.

Here's an example of leather grain that I did for a '48 Cadillac.

In the East, Bill Gratkowsky in NY does a beautiful job of replicating the original pattern. He did my dash panel and it perfectly matches the original door panels. He's listed in Hemmings.
