Original part 69 hideaway?
 
Just picked up a original hideaway set up and getting ready to strip it down and saw the little plastic caps on the grille screws is that correct ? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...00395848f2.jpg

Don’t recognize that, probably home made to adjust the position of the door?

Caps are correct.

I recall those on a '69 I had in the early 80's, they were on the top screws that held the door grills on. I assumed they were there to protect your fingers/hands when the doors are in the open position......I can imagine the exposed screw tips drew some blood from a few techs when they changed/adjusted headlights.

Yep, correct ... I haven't seen those in freakin years.

Makes sense! Those things should probably be all over the place :D

I could think of 10 more screws waiting to draw some blood.

Slightly different ... but I might get a couple dozen of these.

The ones in the top left corner ... they make them in every conceivable size.
