What’s up with the fender tag? It almost looks like it’s mounted to a separate piece of metal. Awesome car AND options

We tried to make the others work by bending and grinding. Just not happy. These are originals eventually found and re chromed by Advanced. I painted them. Surrounds, trunk and taillights were fun to do too. But had very nice originals to work with.

For what most of us do with these cars is it really worth it? I mean the engineers were pretty good back then. Most k members lasted 60yrs without cracking. If your right there and have a welder have at it. Won’t hurt anything.

67 RT with new wiring except dash harness. Original headlight switch-new high beam switch. Bulbs are original or very old replacments. During this years Woodward Cruise I noticed the passenger side low beam was dim. The drivers side was normal brightness but the high beam filaments had a faint...
