1968 Plymouth GTX

['68 Coronet R/T]

Probably Vert seals..

Turns out I did order the convertible seals by mistake.
Should've read the description all the way to the bottom for that was where it said "convertible."
Sending them back and getting the correct ones.
Like I said, the quality seemed real good and they are made in the USA.

We all do that stuff... Fine print shouldn't include the important details.... Cause I can't speak for everyone but my eyes aren't as good as they use to be...

Got the drip rail trim installed.
The driver's side was a lot tougher than that passenger side.

Finally got the right window felt kit.
However I am not sure what these clip nuts are for? Looked through the service manual but couldn't find any information on them.

Those mount your rear stainless trim... It bends 90 degrees and extends down behind the felts

Here's a picture from post #99 of my build thread, which may be useful.
Tom at R/T specialties sells the clips if you don't want to reuse your existing ones.

Thanks, I will test fit the trim pieces I have left.
It's hard when so much of this stuff was removed by somebody else.

He was having a great time until I came along with a pair of tweezers. Funeral portrait of this bad boy.

I'm worse with technology than I thought.

Trying it another way.

Or as 1 wild stated, check out post #99 on my thread.

Your past comments on the SPI board, were influential to me and helped me out.
(I never joined it since I got pretty much any answer I ever wanted by searching and reading).

Turns out that I do not have those moldings.
Anyone have a source for them. Looking on line hasn't given me much hope.

I found some for a '68 charger but not sure if they will fit the GTX?

I think the Charger ones are wider... And I have no idea on length...

I believe you are correct. The guy selling them told me they were for a Charger only.

This is a bummer since the car originally had at least one them installed when it was at that body shop. I can see it in a couple of the pictures. They probably didn't return them to the owner when he got his car back in boxes.

Hopefully a pair will pop up... Might give Tony D a call... I'm sure they wouldn't be cheaper but at this point in your build your gonna need them...

I don't recall those on my 68, and I don't see any pics of 68s with them

We already covered this...

 

[Rich H.]

Do you also have the "earlobe" curved piece that connects the drip rail trim to the "arm burner" trim?

That curved piece is different depending on with/without the "arm burner"

That little piece alone can be harder to find than the belt moldings.

I don't think any of it is reproduced. The Nationals and Carlisle are coming up.

Looking at the moldings, it appears they have that curved portion incorporated in them.

The curved part is crimped on to the longer piece, but with a little effort, it comes apart. Over the years at swap meets and such, I have seen a few people separate them at times (probably for polishing and so on).

Hopefully when you eventually find the long piece, it comes with the curved piece still crimped on as it should and you won't have to monkey with it.
