[s-cars] exterior chrome door trim part number - verification

[P. Dooley]

Yep, that's that part I'm talking about.  I figured I'd have to tear the 
interior door panels out but geez didn't expect to have to take out the 
window frame assembly and then deal with rivets.  Maybe I'll try 
alternatives of getting the bad oxidation out.  I think a clay bar might 
be my next attempt this weekend.

Thanks for the step by step explanation of the torture.
