Rally dash redo
yes the lens centers were chrome faced, flat black outsides, white inside, like the earlier models but 2 of these are quite large. Thus too much chrome and a reflection like fun house mirrors. So they cut very light ring pattern in them to knock it down. That was still too gaudy for my eye so my 67 centers are face painted argent. Only chrome showing is the tiny raised ring at their outer edge. These lens centers are all flat black outsides, still white inside for later models.
I went back and looked at my original 67 bezel. Its the only bezel I have here that hasn't been chemically stripped. The small text is just like shown in your pics. We have to assume it was once bright chrome. Interesting how wind wear would slowly remove the chrome from larger raised/exposed areas but didn't harm these smaller details so much.
I'm sitting here drinking coffee this morn' and think "dang it, I should have looked at the push button a/c controller while I was down there". Was the text carved into those acrylic buttons filled with black or white? I think white. If white, would that make difference in the surrounding rally bezels detail.
I'm pretty confident that the glove box script was chrome faced on black plastic. Otherwise it might have been cast with the bezel and left chrome just like the fish. Do your best to prove me wrong. TIA
