Good afternoon folks,

needing some assistance here with my 68' coupe.  Was wondering (and I did search before :-) ) if the interior rear quarter panels were padded or not?  getting conflicting info on the web.
and does anyone have pictures of theirs?  Also wanting to know if the quarter also takes the chrome trim ... I know the 65-66 does.

thanks !

Apparently it is padded for model 65B, per the "1968 Mustang Interior Assembly Manual" (AM0022 pg 20).
I strongly recommend you get a set of 68 Assembly Manuals.

Would have been helpful if you would include when and where your car or the one in question was built. Just a suggestion in the future since we sometimes run into issues with runnign changes or differences between how these cars were built at one assembly plant verses another


To the question - yes at least the ones I found examples of did have upolstered rear seat side panels

Example 8F01J2161xx below (purple arrows) shows the end trim caps on the upper forward corner where the lower right example (green arrow) is a standard interior example with no trim piece

Hope this helps



Sure there are people who restored their cars and just simplified things by not replacing the material over and went with painted metal on their cars.
