1971 GTX Rocker Moulding ?

[butterscotch71]

Did the Moldings originally have black paint, black decals or nothing on the ribs ?

Original mouldings have the knife edge polished and argent paint elsewhere...hopefully that makes sense.

Sounds Good

Received the moldings today. First impression was the PVC tubing used for packaging - nice and secure. The moldings themselves are pretty nice and should look amazing on the car. My only concern is the overall weight of the moldings and how secure they will be. Other than the weight, which is proba ly not an issue, I think they did a fine job remaking these moldings.

Wonder about using plastic expanding wall anchors to add some extra holding power.

I purchased them off ebay from a guy who is remaking these.

Are they all one color (no polished edges)?

I don't know if there are other options. The auction only showed the one choice and the edges are not polished. Not a big deal for me compared to not having a set.

Looks like some major differences between these and the originals, but like said above...at least there is something out there.

 

[crahill39]

Just an update - I have yet to install these. One big difference is the back of these moldings are flat and do not accommodate any form of retainer clip. I am still trying to figure out how to best mount these without regular road vibration causing the screws to back out of the holes. I may take it to a few body shops to see what they can do. Still love the look of these, just wish they would have provided mounting instructions since they are not 100% accurate to the originals.

I would think there should be someway to fasten these to your car, crahill. Gotta be something in a catalog like "Clips and Fasteners" or Auveco, somewhere. Would it be "factory", probably not. Yet, no one will see them though. Good luck and keep us posted
