Whats the story behind those 67 rocker chrome and those freeaky hood vents?

Some young man mistakes?
dad was def not a man for originality. he added the 67 rocker trim in the 70's, which i don't mind so much. the hood louvers are 67 mustang fastback quarter louvers (i know right). i plan to either fill the holes or replace the hood before the next repaint (want a stock hood but may go repro). the paint is acrylic enamel from 1987 and is showing it's age despite always being garage kept. until 18 months ago i rarely drove the car except around my neighborhood for the last 15 yrs. since you point out the obvious "changes" from factory....when dad gave me the car in 86 it had a 455 olds engine, thrush sidewinder exhaust, 70's GM swivel bucket seats, and 68 cougar taillights. all that was removed when i got it and returned to stock but still have a few things to go. i'm retired now and my sons are grown so i have the time now.
