I believe this is what he's looking for.... Personally I never cared for it & seeing the huge holes you have to cut in the fenders theres no chance I'd ever install it.... But to each his own...

Ah gotcha, I think they repop the hood piece but not the fender pieces? Or is it the other way around.

Other way, fenders are PG Classic, I've found no hood pieces.

Must be a reason to repop the fenders but not the hood. But no idea why they don't make complete sets.

Worked with the car a little yesterday and found someone had glued two sets of carpet over the original set. That's a lot of carpet!
Anyone know what a set of hood periphery molding cost these days? Would think it would brighten up the front on this car

I believe there's a guy here selling a used set for a ridiculous amount of money...check the parts ads.

I agree, makes no sense to me either? They would likely sell a pile more if they were a complete set. Even if you could easily find the hood piece it would look "off" sitting next to 2 new shiny new ones?

Spent some time on it yesterday. Added wheel moldings, stripe, and mirrors.
Needs a heater core and appears to have a bent valve. Time for a valve job.

Also removed the wide side molding and replaced it with a narrower one.
When they installed the molding they drilled a lot of holes, that will be taken care of when I do the repaint.
Don't like the molding but it will have to do for now.

Not sure I follow on the huge holes. Looks like they attach with three screws thru the top.

I looked for a photo, couldn't find it... My buddy's 71 Challenger vert had the wide hood moldings, on the fenders the screw actually goes into the lower piece of metal, the cast trim part has a 3/8" boss that passes through the outer fender metal so those three screws actually have 1/2" holes if the fender....

Hi Ola
 Tried to load picture of the tag, but unfortunately the picture  size is limited to 500 KB.
It is a USA car.
I'll check out the registry.
Thanks
