Did NOS front signal light housings come in grey as well? I bought a set for the 71 Challenger I'm working on and they were a gold colour. 
Is the a difference between assembly line parts and off the shelf parts? 
I noticed that also. On my 70 challenger (SPD 8-26-69) When I removed the previously discussed road tar from the housing, there was a gold finish under it. This gold finish was also under the silver paint inside the housing (which I removed and re-applied).

P.S. Thank you Dave for sharing the pictures, and all of your knowledge.

This is really a great thread! I hope it continues on until well after the Nats when more of us have seen the car in person. The guys who restore these cars to OE level are very knowledgable and it would be great to have more of them start threads about their cars here on moparts. (thick skin may be required) I believe that the shared knowledge that comes from these type of question & answer sessions is Very beneficial to the hobby! Those of you who can make it to the Nats, Please invite the restorers of other OE cars to come on Moparts and discuss their car as Dave has done.
This is far better than any magazine article!

Hey Dave, this has been the most informative thread on Moparts in some time . I think we are all learning alot from this thread and thank you for all of your time, patience,and pics. With regards to the dash restoration, did you find NOS woodgrain besels for the rally dash or use the overlays...or did you touch up a original woodgrain bezel with a airbrush ??? 
The pleasure is all mine Michael! I am glad that everyone is enjoying the content matter and what has been posted. I need to pay tribute once again to my main man Jules the Wiperman for the Rally dash. Over a year and a half ago I contacted him regarding getting an NOS cluster. After about two minuets of laughing, he wished me well in my search for such an item. A funny thing happened about 4 months later. Jules called and the "joke" turned to reality. He found an NOS setup!! Instruments...wood grain panel....control pod....everything!!! The car originally cost $4600 when new. The cost of this NOS panel was more than $1000 over that price! Who would have thought that 39 years later a single dash component would exceed the original cost of the car? Still, I am happy to have found the part and for Jules finding the setup. Jules also took two original A/C boxes and pieced them together to make a BEAUTIFUL complete setup. Thank you Jules (again) for those pieces that will certainly be a main attribute/feature on this car!! I will post a picture of the NOS Rally cluster when I get the chance.
