Default 1963 swc, what and where does these go?

I bought this car in pieces, nothing was together when I got it nor was anything tagged or bagged. Some pieces I have been able to find either through vendor pictures or other members assistance.

I need a bit more help on these.....what and where?

Photo 1, in particular the pieces on far right taped together with blue tape.


Photo 2, 3 & 4









Photo 5, I have no clue



I will have more to add as I go...please refer by photo number, thank you!

Photo 5 is an alternator bracket. Not sure if it's to your car, though.

Picture one the wide trim looks to be the inside rear window trim. The taped ones are your kick panel trim

Many of those pieces in the other pictures are interior trim pieces that go around the rear windows.

The interior trim in post #5 goes around the split windows inside.....hard to find stuff...
And, as I've said before, you can put it on wrong and even though it kinda, sorta looks OK...its incorrect....
Fit the pieces carefully and watch that the curves match the roofline and glass profile...

My understanding is that these (Interior trim) pieces are impossible to find, and even MORE expensive than the exterior stainless steel trim pieces. In other words, you have a "Gold Mine" there
