Blupinto,
You still got that 77, right? I have come in to a problem on my 78. I believe they're called headlight doors,(rubber covers around headlights ???), mine are torn and coming apart. Could you hold on to the ones on your 77, till I get some more money up, if you'll sale them, that is. :angel:

Ok, I hate to say it, but I don't know what you are talking about!! LOL I did take a pic of the front headlight area. Do you see what you are looking for, or is it behind the bezel???

Dave, here is a closer pic of the taillight lenses, still on the car. They don't look bad, but I want to see if they are stained from holding water!

That one's kinda cool! I would be interested in the chrome/red trim if the chrome isn't cracked too bad or peeling (I'm pretty sure they're just held on with adhesive) and I would also like the chrome trim from the door and quarter window frames if you can get them off (I should talk to Fred Morgan for advice first).

I'm with Dave, I like the 'dished' gauge pod on the base cluster. I've seen runabouts with the tach too, one orange v-6 76 many years ago (might've been a bobcat, can't remember). My 78 brochure shows a green runabout deluxe interior with rallye wheel, tach, and plaid seats (the wide low-back ones).

When it rains, it pours! When it stops raining, it's time to put out more buckets!

Chuck

Chuck, I only got one shot of the the red trim. It was getting dark by the time hubby got the car home. I couldn't really tell you how it all looks yet. I will check it out more tomorrow!!


On the chrome trim from the door, are you talking about the lower chrome on the door. Basically the peice that your arm would rest on if the window was down? If so, I may hold on to those for now, because my 72 has the same trim and I may need it if I mess mine up taking it off to paint the car!!! I will let you know for sure if I will be holding on to it, pending on how easy or hard it is to take it off!! LOL

CarolinaBoy, I think you mixed us up! lol. I never had a '77 or '78. If Mom let me get that beautiful blue '77 in '89...

    Anyway, when you say "door", do you mean the "frame" around the headlight? On the early girls, the "frame" or bezel was 6-sided, 77-78 were roundish-squarish, and '79-80 were square lights and bezels. Or have I confused everyone? lol. 
One can never have too many Pintos!

Actually, I was talking about the window frame next to and above the windows. My car doesn't have trim there, it's painted white. I already have the lower window trim (I had to get one for the passenger side with the indent for the sport mirrors). I'm in no big hurry right now, so just let me know. Thanks for thinking about me, though! :D

Those lenses look better than my driver's side one. Mine has a crack in it and a 1" piece missing along the bottom of the brake light!

The frames look better than mine too, I don't spot any damage from here, at least nothing a little polishing couldn't get out.

I wouldn't worry about the seals for them, I made new seals for mine with some insulating foam my dad had lying around. I just need the lenses and bezels/frames/trim/whatever you want to call them. lol

This has been my day for senior moments, Blupinto :angel:, Pintogirl :angel:, I'm old, :drunk: coming down with that ailment where you can't remember, don't remember the name. :lol:
I will try again, Pintogirl, yes the first picture shows what I need. The rubber cover around the headlight and turn signals. It attaches to the fender. So it is a bezel? I would like them if they are available.

I wouldn't blame it on old age quite yet Carolina Boy! I'm sure you've got a lot of years still in you! :D

I even get the two confused, and still don't know which one really has the Green Machine. lol

Carolina Boy,
 Not to worry, It's just an affliction that comes with life experience.. It can be called  many things, I just call it "Wizenhiemers". If you drink enough, it evolves into other things ??? Just remember , everything in Moderation!

Just want to let you guy's know that I havn't forgot about you!!  Trying to get the Ghost ready for Knotts has kinda slowed me down on pulling parts!!

I only need to pull the fender and quarter panel trim peices for you Chuck.

Dave, I only need to pull the bezels and lenses away from the complete unit! LOL Kinda funny, I have the complete units in a box, just need to  pull them back out to do the disection!! LOL

I will get to it soon. I"m hoping to have the Ghost ready by next week!!! THen I can focus on the part pulling again!!

Any parts left that I might be able to use on my 78 coupe? I am mainly looking for the drives side rear wheel well molding. I could also use the passenger side window crank handle, a rear floor mat and a set of ralley trim rings and center caps  ;D

It has it's wheel well molding still, but I think it has dings in it!! I don't remember if it has its cranks, I will try to check tomorrow!! I don't beleive it has stock floor mats, I will have to check on that too. I know for sure it has stock rims with the the full style hub caps.

I will try to take some pics of the wheel well molding to see if it is what you want tomorrow!!

Kim, got a question about a couple parts... First, is the license place light there? If so what is the condition of it & the bracket that mounts it to the underside of the bumper? Mine on my 77 are long since missing. Oh, and what kind of condition is the battery tray in? Just a thought on it lol

I was just re reading this thread to see who all wanted what, and I could have swore I answered you questions, but I don't see my reply! Or maybe I PM'd you! LOL So here is the answer, forgive me if I already answered! LOL

The battery tray is history, and I sold the bumper, so I believe the light is gone with it!
