Dtret Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I know that they look good either way but I’d miss the chrome. Good looking car. Love the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whons Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 I think I will get the chrome eventually. The guy who had it before me even had rear fender skirts on it. (sleeper look). there is no studs for mounting the trim back on, but I have a friend who restores cars for a living, and I know he can figure something out. the 350 engine is pushing 420 HP. I need to put a higher rpm stall converter in it next season. I will be joining. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whons Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Car is totally rust free. The openings for the side marker lights have been welded in, but you can't even tell. when I put the molding on I will get some plastic reflector material to fill the openings in the trim. Does anybody know where to buy the molding trim for the best price. I found one place $485.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the trim is put on with clips the mount on the internal ridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whons Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 I'll have to wait and see when I get the trim next season. I have a friend that restores cars for a living. He will help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
