No, Mike. Never did need. These were all blasted parts to be painted black. The circled parts were missing.
Everything is taken care of now, I believe. Thank you for your inquiry.

Indeed Sammy! Indeed! My sincere thanks to the sYc community, especially the help given. This has been an unnerving event. I may have had nightmares about tragic events with this car, but never believed I would have to live through it. My heart goes out to all I have read about on here who have lost their car to fire/flood/theft &amp; whatever.

This part loss may be no big deal to some, but I have a form of OCD that I remember and replicate every aspect I can when doing mechanical work, even putting fasteners back in the same hole they came out of. It pains me to replace something other than to make repairs or if a bolt/screw etc...is unusable. So, when I know it is not THE original part, unless I deemed that it need replaced, I let that bother me. This car will be technically, a refurbished original with much of it's original aspect as far as wear &amp; tear such as keeping the original interior, shift knob with worn off chrome, pedals that are worn, but replacing the hacked up cluster, carpet, headliner. Extensive body repair/paint/v.top, with as many GM parts as I can afford. So, the car will be a cross between a Survivor/Restored/Day 2. with NOM-basically a mongrel, but MY mongrel from my youth.
