65 Fury FINALLY going to body shop and paint, need a couple trim pieces, any help?

[65Fury440]

After searching for about a rear to find rear quarters, and another month talking to a bunch of body shops, I found a guy that I trust.
I need the headlight surround pieces, tail light surround pieces, and the trim that goes along bottom of the finish panel. Can anyone help?

You've got an issue with your deck lid. Your trunk is for a Fury 1 or 2. Not a 3 or Sport. See the attached picture of 3 or Sport deck lid. So you have a few choices. You can try to find a different deck lid. Good Luck, I do think there is one on eBay for $500. You'll then need the rest of the trim, panel and tail lights. The trim pieces for around the tail lights are tough to find. As well as I've seen very few that aren't beat to hell. Or you can change fill in the holes for the trim around the tail lights and make it look like the rear end of a 1 or 2.

There are quite a few headlight trim pieces on eBay.

Who did you pick to do the work? Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh I know the decklids off of a Fury 1, no biggie, mig in the trim holes, drill new holes for the trim and tail/reverse light. Not as much work as replacing the quarter on the right side. That decklid has zero rust. I picked it and the quarters and rear bumper up off of a 66 4 door car in Atlanta. That car was like a museum piece. It was so clean, even the bumper nuts were still unrusty. A young guy up there smashed the front, I got lucky finding such a nice parts car.

I picked a guy in Tampa who was recommended. I got to look over 3 cars he did and he does great work. I talked to a few guys and looked at some dirty shops I decided to pass on.

Are you going to do the deck lid mods yourself? If not find out how much the place doing the work will charge. As it may by cheaper to buy another deck lid. You'll also need to fill holes on the quarters and drill new holes for your trim. Unless you are just taking the lower quarters.

So who's the body shop you picked?

It certainly is a lot of fun trying to find 65 Fury parts.

I picked an old guy who has a shop at his house, kinda semi retired. He charged me $1500 for the labor, I told him make it $1700 there's alot of work there. He's pulling the windshield and rear window, which no other shop even knew how to do. I hate hiring whiners to do a project, the other shops said I had to get a glass guy to pull the glass, old dude knows his stuff.

Yea I need the surround pieces that go outside the actual headlight bezels. Oh and trim clips too. I've been on the phone all day. Fun stuff!!!
