This is our biggest project we've ever attempted. Cha-Ching! It's for one year only! It's for non-hideaway cars only! Please spread the word to keep the flame alive where appropriate. If this product does well, we've got more good stuff coming. If it tanks...... uggh.

Hey Guys & Gals... I received the first set of bezels in last week. I installed them on an original straight bumper I had in my personal stock, fit the backing plates & inner grills and whalla... check out the pictures. Very happy with the fit onto the backing plates, happy with the fit around the h/l adjusters, even happy with the fit to the inner grills. I think we have a winner..!

Just a side note.....the sample bezels are NOT chrome plated yet. They are raw castings. Just didn't want anybody to think they were poorly plated.

We need to approve the chrome and paint process. It's done by the same company that did our 67 grill bars and everybody loves those. So we're anticipating a quick approval. We hope to have at least some stock by late Spring.

believe it or not, the only things that are the same is the chrome outline and the mounting points to the backing plate... The bezels are really different. For example... the 69 have notches around the headlight bezel surround to adjust the aim of the beam and the 68's don't. There is more, but I don't want to bore you... lol...

We did receive three sets of these bezels. The very first set we had on display at the spring shows... Charlotte, Englishtown & Carlisle was a raw set of unplated bezels. I took that set and installed them on my spare bumper and they were nearly perfect. The second & third set I received fit just as nice. This time both sets were buffed & chrome plated. One set I got was unpainted and the other set was correctly painted. Both looked very good. The project has been approved. I have included pictures below of the bezels installed in my spare bumper. Take a look...

We are getting a limited qty initially, so if anyone is serious about getting them sooner than later, please give us a call and place the order. The part number is PYF80.

I thought I was the only one that did non-hideaway cars! Much needed item...good luck!!!

PY will sell lots of these. Originals stayed nice about as long as 69 tail light bezels.

We had a few production sets at GTOAA Nationals. Lot's of oohs and aahs.

Full production run should be available in about 5 weeks.
