While we are on the subject of molding clips, the reason I needed these is because the molding on my RF fender just fell off the car one day. Good thing it wasn't when I was driving. All the clips were on the molding and I didn't see any of the expansion pins that I see in the clips I received from Dave. Another thing I noticed is the molding was always too high on the fender, like it was installed with the clips upside down. (because of the offset of the pin) Saying all that, I would think you install the clips in the proper position and snap the molding onto them.
I believe the molding misalignment is just a factory f**k up. Mine is the same and never been apart. Have seen others the same

Usually the last clips on a panel are a metal one with stud, that allows adjustment in the hole up or down, to align to the next trim piece. Try this adjustment.
Thanks for the clips Dave. I got my molding put back on securely and headed to the Mopars On the Mississippi show last Sunday. The last out of town car show I tried driving to I had issues and turned around and nursed it home. I did overhaul the carb and put in some 93 octane gas and a 3 hour round trip at 65-70 mph was no problem. There were some dandy early B body cars in my class. I had a great time. @MWbirdLOVER70 and his wife stopped by and introduced themselves. It's always fun to meet members at a show.

She looks great Mike!! 
Your 64 looks very nice.
We have gone to Mopars On The Mississippi a number of times. The cruises they had for a few years were another fun part of their show. We missed them when they didn't have them any more. Always a big show on Sunday.

Thanks. I just pulled it out of the garage and drove it over. I was happy to make it there and back without issues. The last photo above was at the gas station near the show. I didn't need any gas to get home.
I didn't keep track of the miles but I am guessing 13 mpg or so. There was a Cruise In on Saturday but I don't find any info about it. It is a fun show.

Ooooo do you have pics of the one in your avatar?? Don't see many of em in black.
With all this talk about tail lights not bright enough, I don't think I have an issue. I need to take some photos of the tail lights only though.

Try using # 2357 bulbs. They are noticeably brighter than the # 1157 bulbs commonly used. I have used these brighter bulbs in my 1967 R/T that have notoriously darker lenses, behind the bezel grill.

My phone rang today and it was a strange number I didn't know. Many times I don't answer those calls but this time I did. It was the guy in Arizona that my 64 came from. Jeff bought it from him and he resold it to me. Nice fella, told me a little about the history, It was originally sold in New Mexico and through a couple owners it ended up in Arizona. There was some trim in the trunk and he was interested in some of it. I will look for him when I get a chance. He sent me a few photos of what the car when he bought it.
Cool!

Beauty! We did not have that model in Canada. 440 2-door sedan with stainless trim on door post and window surrounds. Our 440 series also had red tail lights and white reverse lights on a smaller base plate than the Polara used. The lights were not mounted directly to the body, like U.S. models.
