Have all the bits but speakers, assuming I can find something that fits in after market. I have not looked at it, but figured by putting the speaker/lens to the grille, scribing a template off that, then locating the grille on the door, mark the outline, then from the grille speaker/lens...

Hard to say from a photo on the web. But would it be similar to the light blue for the 65 or 66 grilles?

Been a while and I think I tried it and it failed... can you install the front bumper after installing the lower valence and arms?

Threw out the entire pad....!!!! :eek: Its an easy fix... I use two of the lower rear valence "tabbed" studs, carve out a good solid bonding surface area, and sikaflex them in place... so far so good on two done that way...

Did all of the screws for the lamp protector/shields (the 6 "buckets", 2 large 4 small, that screw to the tail panel and cover the socket end of the taillights) that stick into the trunk get the little grey screw on caps? And for the "cardboard" covers the Branda repros are black. I have seen...

"Best". NOS. :wink: OEM and most reproduction look completely different. The Dashes Direst fit well, but the feel and grain are way off. As well as the shine of the finish. For cost DD is the only option (I don't think there are multiple manufacturers, but may be wrong). A DD dyed...

Why can't one use the deluxe lower grille as a template? Put in against the door, mark out the outline. Work from that to the outline of the light/speaker and then cut...???

and some post-seal install...

Had a few questions about the cowl area.... here are some pre-seal shots...

it is a matte black, very low gloss, but not full flat. I'd have to ask my painter. We taped just below the holes for the cowl seal horizontally and then just oversprayed thru the gap... that way the stripe end at the cowl seal and don't go all over the cowl lip. Not "correct" but the look I...

reattaching as some don't seem to be able to see the linked Photobucket items...

I have seen the 4+ range over the years as well... I would think as a manually added thing there was a recommended distance, and then what the trim line actually did...:wink:

The door pin, in conjunction with the ignition off, tilts the wheel away when you open the door. Believe there are some differences in the '67 vs '68-'69 setups, but the basic function is similar...

Sure, I took lots of pics and have a partial write up... happy to share...

+1 on finding an original. I priced up Ididits, they ran $400-500 and for a pretty similar price I found a nice OEM... had to take it all apart and adjust, a bit tricky but an interesting project.

Nice... On the trunk, no I think that looks like "trying too hard" and never liked the look. IMHO over the roof of a coupe look even worse... (I thought about white stripes on the vinyl roof *) As this was a factory option, but not done on my car, I made the compromise as with the...

I found some here in Oz at a local rubber shop. Simple grey neoprene adhesive backed foam strip. The size was not exact but was so close as to be indistingushable from the one original I had on the car.... I looked for some spare, but could not find it to take some pics. It was 20mm wide vs...

Because they expected that they would be traded in and crushed within 4-6 years! :smile: And save paint time/cost...

Murf... thanks for that. Can you post a pic of your scoops, I used 3 1/8" but from the top of the scoop, did not use the body line there but will check it, should be close to your 4".... but also used the body line as my level, as you note.
