What are the bead or strips that run down the quarter panels between the quarter and trunk lid on a 28, 29 roadster? Where can I get them, I need at the least the lower 2' on both sides if anyone has them.

They are T strips, sold straight and pre bent. Brattons sells both, but pre bent are part number 35000 in the catalog, run about 60 for the pair.

I suggest you purchase prebent T strips as they are very difficult to bend nicely due to the wide vertical part. For the extra cost, I think you would be glad you did. BTW, I just checked the online Bratton's catalog and the current price for the prebent T strip is $70 and the straight one is $20. They are made from aluminum whereas the original T strips were made of steel.
