During the 4 year resto of  hobo, vagabon,  #27O4 P car  several  components
have been temporarily misplaced [lost].

Looking for a set of "Gills" first choice w/o gas flap; 2nd choice w/gas
flap; 3rd choice
passenger side gill only.

Also need a pair of  Grills  which surround the windshield wiper blades.

Let me tell you of the power of this list!
I received a call from a friend one day asking what was going on with the
shop where my P was being dis-assembled? - It's boarded up they said!
I went there within 4 hours to find an eviction notice effective the next
morning!
Got in touch with the landlord and got permission to remove my junk. While
desparately loading myself up I noticed a BIG pile of un-identifiable car
parts.
Top loaded on the junk pile was a piece of glass in very good condition.  I
thought,
man, what a shame - they are dumping all kind good stuff into the dumpster!
There was also a porch there that was in very good shape.  The next day when
I was sorting my things it came to my attention that both of my doors had
been completely dis-assembled including the glass and the internal hardware
- while I
had some of the hardware, I was missing a lot including the glass!   Guess
whose
glass I saw on top of the junk pile!    Went directly back to the body shop
and the pile and the dumpster were gone!
I found a lead on this list which paid off!    I  got all of the replacement
parts
AT AN AFFORDABLE/REASONABLE PRICE.
Oh - don't know what happened to the porch.
