Most likely 832 would have a steel innerstructure hood and trunk lid however that was during a period when the all fiberglass hoods and trunk lids began to be sourced sporadically. It seems that the transition to all fiberglass hoods and trunklids was completed on cars in the 1100-1200 range.Collision replacement is the typical reason why most steel innerstructure cars end up with all fiberglass hoods or trunklids. It wasn't very long before Ford service replacement inventory was only all fiberglass hood and trunklids during 67 production. 832 would typically be a center headlight car.

Hi 67 fans!
Knowing exact dates are the best when learning about these cars. 832 appears to be a March build so
It most likely had inboard lights when built. Many of us have seen cars with a combination of parts-like a glass hood and steel framed trunk, but they are not as common. Bob's theory about collision is a typical scenario, as it was cheaper to replace a hood vrs. Labor to repair a damaged one.
Just a suggestion: if you have original parts they are worth repairing. Most reproduction parts are easy to identify and often involve hours of labor to make fit the car. Hope this helps answer the questions.

The Metal framed components were pretty much done by date. #832 was completed 3/20/67 when Shelby was still putting steel reinforced hoods and trunk lids on cars. It would also have inboard lights.
