8T03S1425

I'm looking for some good ole fashion help with detailing my trunk.

8T03S-01425 was built on 02/14/1968, it's a white car with black interior and top. It also has the early style recessed side reflectors.

I need the correct:

  • trunk floor mat
  • luggage protector strip
  • side reflector screw caps (Are they used in my car?)
  • location information for the trunk stickers and decals

Pictures would be a tremendous help.

Thanks,

Steve

my car has a ford replacement mat in it, like the speckeled ones (circa 74) was listed as burtex, my original looks more like the one with rust stains. the taillamp covers look to light, may just be the flash. phred

I will look for some luggage protector caps
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

gt350shelb,

If you are talking about the side reflector screw caps and you find more that 4 for Steve I could use 4 of those myself.

If anyone knows who is reproducing them and/or what the description is please let me know.

Regarding the trunk mat installation on a convertible... I have seen original cars with the mat underneath the divider board, the flat screws going through the board, then the mat and into the body.

That red convertible in the pics above had some work done to it, so I would use the pics with caution.  I always thought it was a nice Unrestored example until studying all the pics closely.

Do you have any picture that show what you describe above with the screw?

Thanks
