Metro trim parts and Mike Ross at BEAParts.com should be able to hook you up.....finish panel will run you some coin
The wheel lip openings from Metro GA and the "GTX" lower doors, fenders, quarters, trim and mounting hardware from Mike Ross B/E&A OH and the reflectors from Mike @ B/E&A too......rear trunk finish panel  $$$$$ or "fix it as best as you can locally" for way less but driver quality.

Metro has a 69 GTX rear panel, $775 currently out of stock as listed on the website, but perhaps a vendor might have one in inventory, or call Metro, they might have one kicking around, or give you a vendor name that might have one in stock,....there are 2 currently on EBay in the $100-$250 range, but need work, incase you have nothing?

IIRC the GTX wheel lip moldings are just Plymouth B Body moldings which are trimmed to end where the belt line moldings begin. If you had your old ones and have a steady hand you could get some regular B body ones and trim them.
And that repop GTX trunk finish panel or repop tail lite bezels are worth every penny. I went thru hell trying to get some originals replated by a pot metal plater - my finish panel ending up getting eaten in their acid tank and destroyed. If you can spring for the repops do it.
The GTX and the full wheel opening trim are the same but different. The GTX wheel opening trim is closed on each end where it aligns with the lower body GTX tirm. If you cut the full opening trim then it will be open and not look that good IMO.

Randy car looks great , I'm afraid when it's finished and you look at the money you spent it will end up a gargae queen. I'd get a hammer and pick a spot and ding it , get it out of the way and have some fun. 
John that's too funny...........I think

I would do this only as a last resort. The trained eye will spot this in an instant. That green X is looking great. Is that F5? I have a soft spot for F5 GTX's.

My friend Richard Elms (  ) after he completed the interior would pour some beer on the carpet just so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Randy, the wheel opening trim came in a bag with this logo on it and I've been searching for Mopar Authentic Restoration Product, I'll post if I find them.

That's Metro Parts Company packaging and trust me I've seen a lot of Metro Parts...

That good or bad? That's where I got the wheel opening trim for the Y2 GTX above (Metro, good stuff, good service  ) and it fit fine if not excellent but those are original SoCA/NM/TX fenders, quarters and sheet metal if that made any difference
I'd buy them again if they were in the Mopar Authentic Restoration Product wrapping
