Wondering if anyone has a source for the rear bottom quarter panel molding clips for a '65? Whoever painted the car last time filled in the holes and tossed the moldings. I've found a fair set of the stainless moldings but have no idea of what the retaining clips looked like. Photo of a clip or source would be great. Just for clarification, the molding runs between tire and rear bumper. Ames lists from 62-64 and then skips to 66.

I've ordered them out - thank you. The rusted tips that we dug out of the stainless molding look to be the same size.

Do they flex enough to pop into place or is there another trick?

The rectangular flange of the clip that fits inside the molding is scored every 1/16 inch so you can break off each end of the flange until you have the length that will fit into the channel on the back side of your molding. I seem to recall sliding the top side of the flange as far up into the molding as it would go which then allowed the bottom side of the flange to pass over the bottom edge of the molding and drop down into place in molding channel. I may have been able to turn the flange on the clip to horizontal, place it down into the back side of the molding, then rotate it into vertical position with the top and bottom ends retained by the rear channel on the molding. I did this probably 26 years ago so some details are a little fuzzy now.
