I didn't get a chance to check the ground issue but, I did get the rear rocker molding installed and found the scraping noise when driving. The noise was coming from the passenger side front wheel. I had installed disc brakes early on and used a 1/4" spacer to give me room and still had to grind a little off the caliper bracket to give me clearance on my 14" wheels. I must not have removed enough to clear on the wheel and it would rub in one spot on the inside of the rim. I ground a tad bit more off and problem solved. I am going to put new wheels on the car in the future and they will not give me this problem
As for the rocker molding, my car is missing the studs that the clips went on so I used self drilling screws to mount them. Used the same screws to go up through the bottom of the moldings to the body.
All of this took about two hours to do so add that to the three hours last week and that is all I have done.
I probably won't get a chance to work on the car any more before Christmas and I am hoping Santa will be good to me and I will have some more stuff to put on the car.
I did talk to Sanford and the parts I sent him will be ready this week so I may have them back by next weekend. Then, I can put the grilles and front bumper on along with the hood pad and maybe drive the car around New Year's!
Y'all have a good one!
