I am reassembling a 1965 Fury III after years of it being apart. Some details of the trunk lid trim are hazy!

1. Were the embossed PLYMOUTH letters are the trunk center trim painted originally? I had some dents pounded out and the piece repolished, and can see no hint of paint. Don't think there was originally paint inside the letter outlines, but I am not sure.

2. The horizontal trim pieces above and below the center name plate had fasteners that fit precisely in these strips. I am short about 10 of these. Anyone know what these fasteners are called and where I can buy more?

Having rescued three of these panels from car hordes I came to the conclusion that they had no paint inside the letter outlines except one panel for a Sport Fury. This one had machine turning above and below the centre with satin black in the letter recesses. I replicated this panel as I found the plain panel looked somewhat boring. The fasteners you are looking for are really hard to find so it may be best to buy "break-away" fasteners that can be made to fit any width from 2" down.

Thank you for much for this information. Hope the aftermarket fasteners will hold the piece as securely. I also appreciate this auto body resource you referenced.
