I have a 72 cutlass convertible that I am restoring. Any advice on what to do with the original (drilled in) body side moldings? I have all the pieces, but the fastening clips are old/worn out. Is it better/easier to just bail on the mechanical fastening type and go with a stick on replacement? Either way what are the best sources for both?

 

hi dmc-I just recently bought a 72 convert,all my body moulding was gone,I dont know wether i like it with none or try to find some,I really don't know what it had?wheel wells,hood lip,trunk lip??but most of the ones Isee have some type of chrome,do you know what they came with??

 

My 72 came with a fairly full complement of moldings- lower chrome rocker panel trim; door edge and body side ; hood and trunk lip;

 

dmcmahon-I think its a personal thing as far as resale then original will leave you with a better price,but if your gonna keep the car forever and money is tight then stick on,you can always put the original back on later,but then the sticky stuff will cause a paint job,well tough choice.....crank.it

 

im sure u can get the clips thru www.yearone.com
im trying to locate the wheel well trim for a 68 cutlass conv.
