Since these are plastic I could not get my local metal shop to re-chrome the armrests for me at a reasonable rate. I had to look around and find a place online to mail my arm rests to. They were a bit difficult to find, so I will have to dig around for the site and get back to you.

The door mouldings I found by looking up the original Ford part number and searching on the internet for it. I found a reference to it on a website where some guy was cataloging the different parts he had, but he didnt have a storefront up selling the items yet. I called him up and bought a NOS set off of him for a decent price. I was really lucky. I see these items pop up on ebay (mostly for four doors or station wagons), but occasionally a 2-door set appears. Since they don’t reproduce these parts yet your best bet is too keep looking on ebay or classified ads, unfortunately. If I come across anything I’ll let you know.

Doing a restortion on a 1966 Galaxie 500 XL convertable, having extreme difficulties find replacement moldings for it. Any Ideas where i could find some?

I love how the car looks with the trim, so I understand what you mean. Best of luck with the search! I’ll let you know if I find anything myself.

After a lot of searching, I have come to realize the trim is not being reproduced and I will need to find a part number catalog to search further with any hope of success in finding NOS. I’ll also check on refurbishing the existing as it is complete…just dinged up pretty good on the passenger side. At any rate, your after pics of the paint and new trim solidifies my desire to go with the chrome.

I ‘m still in the beginning stages of the project and trying to get my ducks in a row. This helps a lot!

Hi Shea,

Unfortunately the side trim is not currently being reproduced. I did an internet search for the actual ford part number for the original trim kit and managed to find someone’s parts inventory that had not yet listed the trim for sale (I believe he was just cataloging his stuff for his own use and it happened to be visible on search engines. I then contacted him via telephone and arranged to buy it off of him. A good metal shop might be able to help you get your original stuff straightened and chromed, however.

Spiralbound –
Beautiful car… and a blast to cruise!
I have just started a ’66 Galaxie 500 Convertible (352 4 BBL) resto myself that looks to be your twin vehicle (candy apple red). My rocker panel, side, and door trim, which is identical to yours, is 100% original and complete, but is a little too rough to reuse as is. Do you have information regarding a source for these new trim pieces (OEM, re-pop, refurbishedor, or ???) . I have seen plenty of this vintage without the side trim, but I really would prefer the chrome. Any info would be appreciated.
