1972 Cutlass eyebrow molding
HELP! I am restoring a 72' 442. I cannot find my eyebrow moldings, and the car is supposed to go in for paint by 05/15/10. Does anybody have a pair the would like to sell? Please let me know, and thanks in advance for the help. I am just wondering what else I may have lost....

Are you describing the metal "L" shaped pieces that attach to the very front of each fender and are painted body color? I've got them, $15 plus shipping for a pair of decent used ones. If you need them in a hurry you may want to see if someone in Canada has a set. Let me know if you strike out finding them closer than down here in Oregon. John

Fusick and others have them repop but a couple of years back I ordered a left one and it was way different than the original right, different profile and thickness, way too small. I dion't know if they're still like that but beware, nothing will line up right and they look funky too, leave too much exposed fender edge. Sent it back and got an NOS one for ten bucks on the evilbay.
Those should be painted off the car with the stone shields and headlight surrounds and stuff, the paint will eventually crack and chip where it spans that edge if you leave them on, just snug them down too, no gorilla wrenching on any trim.
