I'm cleaning up the tail end of my 68 Sport Fury, and that includes replacing the thin anodized aluminum trim pieces that surround the tail lights and ride on the top and bottom of the trunk lid:

These pieces area literally beaten flat in places, and the corners were missing when I got the car, so I'm going to install a decent driver set of surrounds and a tail panel that I restored with the red stripes between the lights. The tail panel should go on OK, as all the fasteners came off in good shape. However, the surrounds are going to need some help. The nuts on the end pieces had rusted to the studs, so the studs would just spin in the rubber clip bodies. I need to find replacements for the end pieces, and while I'm at it, probably replace the little spring clips, too. Where can I source these things? I've been looking through Classic Industries and Clipsandfasteners.com, but haven't spotted what looks right. For reference, I'm looking for the fasteners on the far left & right here:

Seems like there were other sources for fasteners a few years ago, and I just haven't been in the game for a while and can't remember who the big players were. Any better sources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Try this.Mr. G's Enterprises - Home Page I found fasteners for my beltline moulding below the back glass a few years ago from these folks. My Fury III doesn't have the surround moulding around the tail lamps as your SF does. Those finish panels on the deck lid are getting hard to find. Premium pricing on nice ones. Glad you had one to restore. Cool looking 68 BTW.
 
Thanks, guys!
Looks like Fastenal has some of the door panel clips I'll need, and I just downloaded the parts manual - have never had that catalog before, and figuring out how it works now. Good idea on Mr. G's, they're probably less than 5 miles from where I live, but last time I went by it looked like a ghost town. I'll see if I can catch them during normal hours and give the a call, too.
