71 cuda tailpanel molding clips
« on: January 01, 2007 - 01:10:54 PM »
Hi guys,

I would like to reinstall the tailpanel chrome molding on my 71 cuda but I cannot make out the correct locations for the plastic clips and wire spring clips from my before pictures.  Anyone have any technical drawings or photos to show which clips go where?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

On the '70, the body has holes for the clips to press into ... is the '71 different?   :clueless:

Thanks Hemi,

I figured it out today....the metal spring clips hold the C shape moldings and the white plastic hold the straight seconds.  Once I looked at it all closely it made sense and went together easily.
