Jim,

You'll have to try and find the venti-ports used. Good used ones are hard to come by.
Ditto on the hood ornament, although I think CARS had a passable reproduction at one time. I don't know if you can still get them. I see them on ebay now and then, selling for $75-$100.
The tailight gaskets should be available from Metro - http://www.metrommp.com/

Thanks for the info. I have desent vent-ports I will just have them replated. I also have a after market hood ornament but it has a little bend in it at the bottom. Ill check out that web sight for the tailight gaskets.  Jim

The hood emblem you mention , sounds like the first repros that were done. You could see the marks from the nut and the bend was because the casting was done from a broken original.

Jim,,, I bought the tail light gaskets that are on the market now,,, they are way thick and made of some foam like material... i went ahead and installed them any way... and they did not look right at all.... so....
I took the tail lights out and cleaned the flanges real good and used black rtv silicone stuff that i bought at home depot....... put it on the flanges of the lights about 3/8 or so thick ,,let it set up completely untill the next day.... then put them back in the car,,,, they pulled up nice and tight and looked like a factory installation....hope this helps.....
