68 headlight cover size question

Re: 68 headlight cover size question

My August 6, 1968 built car has 18.5 doors (both sides) and the metal bezels are part numbers 3911143 left and 3911144 right. Happened to have them off the car at the moment. Back a few years ago I was communicating with another member named Terry. His email address was TFRINGO@AOL.com and he was doing a study on 1968 headlight doors. Not sure if he is still on the site. You may want to try and contact him as he went further than just the size of the door. He was also looking at the inside make up of the door, etc.

Thanks Mark, As a follow up, I have decided to go with another 18.5 so both will be 18.5 when I am finished. With one door being 18.25 and the other 18.5, the metal headlight surround has a noticeable gap along where it meets the cover that is 18.25 - really looks bad to me. Thanks again or the info.
