Is that FY1 or GY3...Hard to tell on my computer...either way...I like it !

NOS louvers, note the boxes and blue and white labels, boxes have a July 1970 date stamp, the white foam seal is very soft and small celled, pal/accorn nuts NOS, backing plates are original to the car and are stamped in galvanized sheet metal with a radius to the fender. Very different than the two different repros I have.

Thank you, GY3 single stage with a light buffing not to remove the "orange peel".

Back from paint shop black out process. NOS rocker trim installed using NOS clips and screws. Screws are partial thread with wax seal. The black out paint was matched to organisol. I have the laq. organisol, painted it to a donner, then worked with a local paint supply to get very very close. 33 different formula trys. 34 was it. It was also used on tail panel adjusted gun and patterns to get texture on tail panel. Some was also brushed around front and rear window opening.

Nice...The original rocker trim on a couple of 71 Cudas I've restored had welded studs as opposed to the screws shown in your picture. The screws are supplied with the replacement NOS trim package.

Thank you, Yes the studs were all the original welded studs the clips slide on to, the screws (only 2 per package) were used in front and rear of trim.

Looks like you have done more than a few. Its an obsession at this point. I think I should start a resto tread here now that I have the picture thing figured out.
