Molding question
« on: August 24, 2011 - 01:10:16 PM »
My '70 Cuda did not come with the molding that goes around the tail light panel.  We noticed that while there are holes in the tail light panel to attach the molding on the bottom and sides, there are no holes across the top of the panel where the panel connects.  Is this correct and if so how is the top of the molding attached to the panel?  I checked the motor manual and there is no reference to this molding; at least I could not find it if there is.  :feedback:

thanks
Brad

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

No problem.

Others get credit for sharing these earlier. Saving some of these pics are helpful to others and myself.
