    EXCESSIVE TRUNK MOISTURE ?

    Landau roof trim at quarter panal

    Check with KEYSTONE. I know of one in Albany NY, here is the phone # (518) 452-7730 they should be able to help out. I too am in a similar dilema.. I might just paint the center part to match the body or interior (Ivy Gold) color.

    1966 PROJECT HAWT RODD !

    well, I just stripped the vinyl roof off, tore all the chrome off the front end, and removed the rear light trims. I think I might make a custom billet rear narrowing channel so the lights get a super slim profile, and I will back fill them with acrylic sheeting and do away with the stock...

    Dashboard Lights '66

    If you are nailing the speedo lights, have fun lol. I had the 4 GAUGE lights go out ( as I believe mentioned above poster was referring to) and those are a snap to do. for the dash itself, you need to remove some housings, too get it out. Not tough , but involved. 3 hours tops. have fun !
