I bet thats one were your going too have to buy the material and do your best to glue on new rubber to your chrome pieces is my best guess. I have used cement and small rivets to attach them before.

Maybe????? they have others also :

After a ton of searching I found a place called Mo-par City in Oregon, IL that is a Mopar salvage yard.

They had the quarter belt moldings I needed.


I have them cleaned and buffed, just haven't got around to installing them yet. The front fence needed to be scraped and repainted so I have been working on that for a couple of weeks now. Can only work outside for a couple of hours in the morning and then in the evening due to the heat.

Installed them today. A whole lot more work that I thought it would be.

Don't you just hate it when one joint just won't sit down flat?

Coming along nicely.

Yes.
The quality control back in those days wasn't the best either, and when you add to that the fact that the reproduction parts are also hit or miss, it makes things more difficult.

When looking at the Fender Tag decode, it stated that my car had fender mounted turn signals. This was verified by the plugs being present on the wiring harness as well.

Apparently someone had changed the fenders out along the way so there were no holes for mounting these. Fortunately a guy on For B-bodies Only website took the time to measure his so I could get these mounted.

I used wide masking tape to protect the paint and then began laying out the hole locations.


The 53 1/2" measurement is from the rear top fender edge running along the top outside edge of the fender to the closest edge of the lens housing.

The 6 9/16" measurement is from the inner fender edge to the base on the turn signal and is consistent from front to back.

The gaskets that came with the $100 rebuild kit, were junk so I used them as a template and made some from thin rubber material.


Drilled the holes and mounted the left side earlier today.



Now on to the other side.

Headlights installed:



Also needed new pig tail sockets for the rear side marker lights. Searched in vain for reproductions and then found these at the Wiring Depot.

They fit great and look very close to the originals.

Great to see that car come together. Looks super nice.

Thanks.
It's going to be on hold for a while, as I am going on an 8 day motorcycle ride through Colorado.

Sent bumpers to a shop for straightening and re-chroming. That's probably going to take two months since they are so busy.

Everything is sooo expensive that I have to do this in steps. Charge something and then pay the credit card off before the next purchase.

Sounds like you made an awesome choice! The '66 GTO and '68 Corvette are great cars, but that GTX is something special. Finding a project so close by is a huge win, and it looks like it was meant to be. Can't wait to see what you do with it—I'm sure it's going to turn out amazing! Enjoy the process; it's going to be a great ride.
