front fender molding clips 68 442
I am ready to reinstall my moldings after paint. I am able to locate the plastic clips for the doors and 1/4 panels, but where can I get the plastic clips for the front fender molding? I have the metal stud clips for the first two hole locations, but the rear 4 holes have plastic clips that seem to just push into the fender.

I believe that those plastic clips are probably replacements. The clips (pretty sure they are original) for my '68 4-4-2 convertible and my '69 4-4-2 convertible were both the wire type that are fastened with a speed nut on the back side. I've looked for those clips at swap meets for the past 3-4 years now and I don't see them anymore. You might have to pick an alternative to the wire clips and/or the plastic clips that were with your car.

You are so right! It's a royal pain to get the wire clips on/off with the fenders installed. I tried it once on the driver side fender and got them off (accessed them between the fender and the inner fender but just tore the heck out of my left arm!). When I put them back on, they went on before the fenders were installed.

Au-Ve-Co manufactures all of these clips. Their catalog is on-line, though they only sell through distributors. Any auto paint store can get these clips, or specialty clip vendors also sell them.
