I am looking for the clips for the rocker chrome that runs the length of the car. Joe Suchy has no leads. I still think this post belongs in the 62-65 B Body section..... but it's been deleted so here I am.
I have almost all of the original clips if someone out there wants to collaborate on trying to recreate or restore them. Joe would stock them if they were remade. From what I understand, there is a small pin that goes through the center holes. From looking at mine, it seems like there would have been a special plier used to install and remove them. There is also a small donut gasket that sits around each hole in the rocker, they rotted away but were there when removed.
I also need the front left fender wheel arch chrome, other 3 are good. I have the original but it is beat up really bad and seems pretty difficult to restore.
Any leads ideas or workarounds appreciated, I would really like to put the chrome back on.
