Dad is very excited and happy.I can't beleive he hasn't hopped a train yet to come see! I am posting a youtube video so he can see it because the pictures can't seem to quite capture the color.

Started the fitting of the new rocker moldings and they look pretty good.The new clips really do make for smooth sailing but I did need to drill 1 more new hole on each side...

Rocker moldings are from Metro parts and they fit real nice.Better than a LOT of the stuff I bought for the car.Beware of the repro wheel opening moldings.AND if you happen to be trying to make them fit any aftermarket qtr panel,GOOD LUCK.

Sorry I don't have anything better to say about the wheelwell moldings,but I figured you would appreciate a real world report rather than "they are great and you will love them".You won't. I was lucky to have a guy with a shrinker / stretcher that helped me get them to fit somewhat. But the tool left teeth marks on the moldings that won't come off. without that though I was gonna be throwing them in the trash .But also may be the A/M qtrs partially,they may fit better on an original qtr panel.
