1968 Tail panel screw caps/protectors

[dalorzo_f]

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 posts that they were originally a blue-ish color... for installing I recall seeing mention of getting them wet and forming them over a mold to get a soft curve, as some have indicated forcing them in place can just fold them in half... not good... Anyone got tips or a template or drawing showing dimensions...

Yes the originals were a blue grey. All of the screws had the protectors. The repro's need to be dampened and arced or they will crease. Then after they are dry paint the blue grey. Here is a picture of the original from the GT350 and the ones we did for the HCS. Hope this helps. Marty

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