1A Auto carries a lot of weatherstripping for the older cars. Got my door seals from them and my roof rail weather stripping... very easy to work with! They're on eGag as well... :)

Dave, if you can take some pics of what you've got, I might be able to offer some advise! :thumblef: I really wasn't sure how to tackle mine because one surround was in 4 pieces plus the major crack on the one end, and the other was only in 2 pieces thankfully. I completely disassembled them...

Well, 4 days of busting my ***, and she's actually ready for the show. The 2nd grill is done and in, and man, do these look HOTT!!! Got my new stainless polished overflow tank in, the hood hinges off the '67 are in, and if I had another couple hours, I'd put my new aluminum master cylinder in...

Seeing as how it's coming up on a month working on this project, I figured I should update everybody. One side is completely done, and if I hadn't scrated the messing trying to put it together today, it'd be in already... ARGH! Looks like I need to get some update pics of the grill up too...

Looking forward to them! :D

Scoop is a little off center on the Dak'! :P Looks great! :thumblef:

Fishy is correct. Lower valance piece. One hint, make sure it's STRAIGHT before you bolt it on, otherwise it'll throw off your fender alignment... don't ask me how I know... (damn bodyshop...)

Wow! Bodywork and sheetmetal work are beyond my skills, so those that can pull off something like that and make it look that good amaze me! GREAT job!! :D

PICS!!! Just a few of what I've been fixing so far. Trying to take my time and make it look good. Like I posted earlier, I'm using JB Quik to "weld" it back together. Seems to be holding up quite well so far. I'm going to use a steel brush to try and get the excess off and to rough up the...

I think so. The custom messing I'm putting in is going to be black, along with the surround. I'm hoping I can get the aluminum accent piece to clean up and shine nicely! I drilled the rivets out of the aluminum piece to get it off the surround. Wait until you guys see what I've come up with...

Finally got around to starting on the surrounds last night. I ended up buying a couple packages of JB Quick (JQ Weld for plastics basically). So far from working with it last night, it seems like this is going to work quite well. I haven't tried bonding the sections together yet, but just one...

Thanks Adam. Where'd you get it at? I was thinking of going with an automotive flat black... something that's made to take wind, bugs and getting cleaned! :)

Thanks for the tip 69fastback! Don't worry Jack, you'll get pics! I've taken some pics already and just haven't had a chance to get them up yet, been too damn busy working! I bought some JB Quick (JB Weld designed for plastics), so I'll let you guys know how that fairs out... hoping to get...

I believe '67-72 front windows are interchangeable, but I could be wrong. As far as the trim, I think the same applies. Good luck finding the chrome trim if you don't have it though. It can get pricey. The clips are readily available of course...

Perfect! Thanks man! :thumblef: I'll go look at some 2 part epoxy's tonight and let you guys know what I find. I'll have to get some pics up tonight of what I've gotten done so far!

Thanks Adam! What brands of things did you use? I want this repair to last and look good... slowly but surely I'm getting around to things that I passed up during the resto! :)

Well, I finally broke down and decided it was time to pull the grills off the car to restore them. Trust me, they need it and I'm sure not dropping almost $1000 on ebay for a pair. My gray plastic inner surround has lots of cracks and is in several pieces in some areas. I have everything...

I would think about $3-400... I've seen pairs of fenders needing work going FROM $600/pr up to $750....

AHHHH... you cut the inner fenders!! :-P Nice progress! Looks kinda like my '67.... only yours is stripped out farther! :thumleft:

Those are originals... the other side isn't so pretty. Some nice pitting and what not. I did figure out where the longer (8"?) emblem goes. You should need only one, as it's a '67 emblem. One the back of the decklid in '67, there are 3 pieces of trim... top, middle, and bottom. Top and bottom...

That should help some... EDIT... maybe I should learn to read too... LOL. I see you figured out where those go.. :banghead:

Layson's is a big seller of hard to find weatherstripping... give them a try! They've got a HUGE cataloge!

Lookin' good! :-)
