Topic: Head Lamp chrome Ring Screws

[ceswert]

What is the correct screw or fastener that was used on 1967 Gt 350's to secure the chrome head lamp rings?

[J_Speegle]

Someone along the way changed out the headlight rings (common "improvement") to chrome ones as very early cars typically were delivered with painted (body color for the outer headlights - black for the inners) head light rings
Here is how your cars headlight rings were attached when you got it




Asked Bob to check in and comment

Thanks Jeff. I do have some nos rings that I would like to paint black and nightmist blue. Would this be appropriate for my car or do you believe it came with chrome rings? I know it must be almost impossible to tell unless the cut off number for this painted ring feature was below #89.

i would say you were safe on the body color painted rings. BTW  if you were back in the day at SA you would probably see a few cars built shortly after#89  that had the chrome rings.

OK, thanks. I am going to go ahead with painted rings. Were the screws also painted to match the ring colors?

Not typically.
