I'm looking for trim for a 1967 Beaumont "Custom" specifically the lower body trim. The lower trim are two thin strips running parallel to each other along the lower body line. The front fender portion outlines the "Custom" emblem and only these pieces would be the same for all Custom models either two or four door. There would be eight pieces per side. I've been looking at two different 1967 Beaumont Customs to purchase one as a project, but both are missing some or all of the lower trim. Attached is a picture taken from the CP Beaumont Registry showing the trim arrangement. Any and all leads appreciated. Also I was wondering whether the hood molding and fender eyebrows on 1967 Chevelles and Beaumonts interchange, and if so are they available reproduction.
Thanks

Hood molding yes ,fender molding no.The chevelle fender molding is part of the grill extention.I had my fender eyebrows restored and was way cheaper than buying repops.Repops are on fleabay from time to time.And good luck on the custom trim,ive been looking for good stuff for years.

Thanks for the info, sounds like piecing together a full set may take some time. Who did the resto on your fender eyebrows, somebody in BC?
My uncle had a 1967 Beaumont Custom, two door hardtop back in about 1977, Deepwater blue, black bucket seat interior, 283 four speed, love to have that car now.....
Im sure theres lots of people that can restore them.The person that did mine was a guy named Del and hes very good with soft trim on classics.He works at Jacobsons body shop.Jacobsons is a pontiac dealer here in Kelowna.Mine were basket cases and he made them look great.For custom trim you can try the tinman on the Island.He get pieces from time to time.My cuz here 65sssd will probably have a way to contact him(or someone else here).
Funny, already got an email back from the Tinman, he was the second place I called. He doesn't have anything right now. I have a buddy that has collected sixties car stuff forever that may have some but I am unsure of the lengths and profile. Does any other model, ie four door, front fender or behind the rear wheel interchange?
By the way, have you been in Port Alberni with your car?
Front fender scripting and trim will work but the rest of a 4 door wont.Although my family roots are in Port i have never been there with my car..I will be once its done.

I bought my fender eyebrow trim from Werner in calgary. The pair was about $220. Nice repops though. Good fit and finish. pm me if you want his email He is the guy who sells them on ebay( nice guy and good to deal with) Paul
You might just want to give up on the lower moldings...I dont remember the last time i saw a beaumont with them on anyway. ( I always thought they were ugly but that's just my 2cents )
