Hi Tony,
Sorry, but no.
The photos are from about 5 years ago.
I have more of the area of the door that meets the quarter and lid, but not of that area of the lock pillar and lid.
Regards,
Alan
I believe that there is a very small part missing from this photographs. As I recall in this area there is a very small two prong tab that sticks out and is used to attach the facia. Does that sound familiar?

Could be. My car was missing plenty of little pieces here and there.
Yeah you can see where mine were ripped off at some point. I didn't have any interior trim at that location when I started the project. It was a race car, so damage happened.
I may be able to get to this today, but I have never pulled that seal. Ron, will you have time today to take these measurements? Your seal looks like it's already removed. Or is that an old photograph?
Here are the measurements from my car. I would not be offended by another '68 owner doublechecking my work. Below this photo I will insert a photo indicating what I used as the take off point on the right. As you know, this edge is concave.
This shows how I took the measurements from the right after taping a stir stick to the car following the final arc of the edge. All measurements are perpendicular to the direction of the car, i.e., a right angle to the drive shaft. The screws are 1/2" x 1/8" (ignoring the threads). I don't have any reference screw to say if they are #x, y, or z. Appear to have been black manganese phosphate, but difficult to tell. As I said in the photo markup, I would drill the holes after you acquire the part and use that as a template.
Thanks NRAROX. My car was/is a basket case project, so I'm just trying to reproduce pieces that do the job intended. Those measurements are perfect for me to reproduce pieces for both door pillars.
