Who has the best source for the front end gasket things that seal the bumper to the quarter on the '67?

A couple vendors say theirs are kind of poor, which is scary...

Thx

I have a real nice pair of the 'early' metal version if you are interested.

Pretty rare and hard to find. I might have a set of original vinyl (later) sets as well.


I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

The rubber piece that goes around the front bumper that closes the gap between the bumper and front fenders?

I could use a new one too

Metal ones? Interesting- the car does have a set of metal rounded things already installed, but I thought those were guides or something. Do you have any pics of the items you have?

Thanks!

Maybe somebody out there has a few pics of their front end seals- installed, or being installed, etc? Help!

Thanks!

Seems like most people don't use the bumper fillers since they close the gap between the bumper and fender to the point where its not seen or needed. First I heard that 67 had metal ones.

I think i had like 3 or 4 of the factory rubber ones but only for one side and the other side where all junk. I used the crap aftermarket plastic ones from classic industries. They really suck. The issue is they they are a hard plastic and your limited to how close you can put the bumper to the fender.

I read in the archives here that the factory put the space in the bumper so if the bumper got taped it wouldn't chip the paint on the fender.

Here is the only picture I have handy of my red '68:

Yes, early '67's came with metal fillers, then switched to vinyl. All '68's came with vinyl.

I would say less than 5% of the fgf's I have seen have no filler. Curious comment.
