Hey, guys. Im looking for the clips to the body moldings on my 66 cutlass. Most of the trim is on there snug, but there are a few that the plastic clips finally gave way. I've looked on OPGI and didn't see anything there. Would you guys have any idea where I can buy the clips?
Those aren't the original clips anyway. There are a number of similar clips, all originally made by Au-Ve-Co. The clip vendors like Restoration Specialties, Clips and Fasterners, and RJ&L sell a variety of them.
I used these on the blue 66 pictured here. The original old dirty clip laying on the box must be one of my originals and I had put it in the box with the new ones.
I searched and it seems AUVECO discontinued this clip, and the search further says the clips in this LINK are their replacements.
I have no personal knowledge on removing the clips. I had the car painted at a friends body shop and they removed the trim. I did install the trim after the paint and buffing were finished.
Good luck,
Thank you everyone for all your help. I was able to find the clips for the car at space-age auto paint. While I was there I grabbed some painting materials and painted the car in a "vintage flatz" white. It came out pretty good for my first time ever shooting a car.
