    I am looking for this type of 66 Skylark lower side chrome clip. The molding is 1 3/4' wide. Thanks DSC04240.JPG DSC04241.JPG DSC04242.JPG

    I had to make a universal one work. I could not find them either. Good luck.

    I may need to use universal for these and a few more if I cannot find original. These specific clips are used on the chrome strip in front of the rear wheel house. Two on each side front and back, the center is different. I have parted at least 3 66 GS's + the one I am working on and only found this one type clip that was usable. Three of these cars were from the Midwest rust country. For everyone's information, there are 5 different clips used on each side of the 4 lower chrome. Found usable replacements for 2. Salvaged a third. Using a forth and remaking the attachment to make it usable. This fifth one I am looking for, is very different it is made of plastic and metal and has a screw cap.

    From what I can tell these are only 66 Skylark/GS. There are 1 3/4" wide moldings, not much out there for this size. Restoration Specialties could not find any of the three I needed. I sent them samples, that they returned. Thanks Bill.
