Side rear reflectors are missing. Easy fix, if you want to replace them. Rear bumper should be relatively easy to find, as well.

Don't want to bad mouth anybody but have noticed lots of recommendations for Dennis Carpenter items and specifically to avoid, certain others. Things change though and not necessarily for the better so even with this advice check before ordering. Licensed products (used to be anyway) just fit way better and are made with heavier stuff and will last.

A high quality source of rubber products, but also more expensive is steelerubber.
One of my acquaintances who is into high-dollar type of restores likes their products. I have only bought a windshield seal. Definitely a quality product.

It'd be a shame to cut that beauty up. You could get big $$ for that here in Ohio. Original ones like that in even half that condition are far and few between in these parts.
