Wheel Well Trim Molding 66-67
Are the differences in reproduction Wheel Well trim worth the price differences? The prices vary quite a bit.
What have been your experiences with these parts?

I don't know if there are different manufacturers for the trim or just different pricing from the vendors. I used the repros from our host on my 67 and they took a little finessing to make them right but I am satisfied with the results.

Put a set of repros on my '67, they all took a bit of massaging to get them right but they will go on. If I remember I had to drill a different hole in the 1/4 lip to get the rear on. They don't seem to sit as flush on the edge of the body as did the factory moldings, maybe elongating the trim holes a bit might fix that though.

You might want to get help putting them on, especially the rears. They can spring loose and scratch the paint. Ask me how I know!

I've tried a couple sets of repops now and they're better than nothing. but the originals fit like a glove, find good originals and restore them if at all possible.
It's not just a GTO thing. the repops I bought for my Roadrunner were like trying to fit socks on a chicken. these seem to be hard to reverse engineer for some stupid unknown reason. |
