Kim,
Nice GC 'vert! I was looking for google images to support the 'fins up' discussion, and "found" an image of a red convertible with white top, and performance hood. The website said the car was sold. Now i know the new owner!!
A93,
Thanks for the pics of the clips. unfortunately nobody re-pops those. i had to use a generic plastic clip, and cut it down to fit (3" to 2 3/8").
Before:
After modifying to fit inside the rocker:
They worked pretty good, other than some flex that the metal clips do not have. i had to shim the clipped off pieces between the clip and the rocker to 'pop' into the holes on the car.
Drew,
Are they rare? Well only 7886+/- Gran Coupes were made in 1970 (1971 used a different rocker pattern), so i would say yes, the are 'rare'. and no one that i know is re-popping them. I would imagine that the extrusion process would be way too expensive for the few cars that are left, and fewer still that haven't been cloned into a 'cuda.
