    yes....will restore as closely to stock as possible. The fender GC emblems were the first things I put on the car....am waiting for the argent silver paint to arrive here... paint is very difficult to ship to europe. Took me 6 months to find some nice GC emblems.....
    Have just ordered the new AMD rubber bumper for the front, as originally built, and just purchased a new trunk rack. Will change the trunk lid with its original that has trunk rack mounting holes. Car was originally born with rack. At first didn't want to Mount the rack, as my 71 Cuda 383 has one...then decided to go stock...

    Gonna be beautiful.

    Too bad they don't repro GC trunk badges or rocker mouldings.  Those are HARD to find in good condition anywhere, much less in EUrope.

    just about nothing is found in Europe, most of the parts are sourced from ebay or Mopar forums...
    The emblems were the answer on a want ad on Moparts, and the aluminum moldings were on ebay. Everything is to be transported and when arrives here, custom duties are to be paid. Biggest problem is paint...I am now in need of some grille argent paint and am getting crazy to find somebody in Europe who has it

     :clueless:   ok...     just trying to think with you here...  :dunno:

     I know shipping rattle cans from the states is no option, but they stock several mopar paints.
