New emblems with a mix of original- the GTX emblems are the ones that came on the car

Bought a lot of trim from PG- cheaper than chrome in Canada- but I have heard fitment stories...

Repo gas cap with original backing plate
And I didn’t have any argent paint so I improvised

That paint came in handy- had the grille polished along with the headlight bezels. Then I masked them up and used that paint. Put on a new emblem on the grill

Also used that paint on the tailpanel which I had polished

A little dark but I like it.
Added new lenses in the finish panel as well.
Some things might not be 100% correct but it’s just me in my garage trying to get it close !

The seat backs were faded and crusty. Soaked the chrome in Oxalic acid and painted the backs

Believe it or not - hard to find a nice (and not pitted) column shift lever. Found one.
Also happy with the mirror I picked up

The original rocker chrome is in great shape- except for a hole where someone put a screw - so I ordered a repo set . They look pretty good
Looks good, lots of nice work done already. Glad you have those nice quarter panels for it.
I’d like to offer some suggestions.
The headliner and visors are to be black on a 67 with white interior. The only things white are seats and trim, door panels and arm rests. Everything else is black.
The trunk panel red paint should match the dark red paint on the taillight bezel. It is to better blend in with the taillight lenses
The radio you have is a dealership replacement, not a factory one. It should say Plymouth transaudio on the dial. And the dial numbers should be the same font as the speedo numbers.
Those red power steering return hose clamps are not used on a 1967. They use Corbin clamps on the PS return.

I did a home restoration on the set of wheel covers - used the same argent style paint as I did on the grille, finish panel etc
