HI if look on the inside of the door or fender to see the holes if that are from a gtx. I do know that the steel clip w/nut go on the back end of the door. I will look to see I think I have a 69 gtx door w/holes

I'm sure you would like to do this soon but I had a similar situation and measured and photo'd the holes on my '69 GTX but I would need to find the written measurements which may take a little time.

I'll try to find the info.....I think it is 21 holes each sie and I ended up using only one type of clip even though it calls for two types.

I have one here getting ready for paint. I can measure the door and fender holes, but I don't have the exact measurements for the quarters. Both side were replaced before the car got to me.

So they are clips and not speed nuts that held them in place? Good to know as I want to try and find some better moldings for our vert since the one piece has a couple dings in it.

I would assume plastic clips except for the ends... but I don't know for sure. Something I need to find out too.

If you get them from Mike at B/E&A then you get all of the correct hardware and the correct quantity....I just used the white plastic clips because I was too lazy to remove some of the interior panels

those dont look like the clips that i got in my set? mine have a spring looking leg off the ones with the nut? do you have a location for where the clip and nut assemblies are located? and do you put the clips on the body then slip on the moldings? thanks for the pics, that helps alot!
