Hi,

Recently i have been working on a 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe that has been made into a Cuda clone.

One area that needs to be addressed it's missing the chrome trim around the taillights and license plate that were on 70 Cuda's.

I have a set of new reproduction chrome trim and since this was a Gran Coupe there are no holes around the rear panel to mount the trim.

My questions are:

How many holes are needed to be drilled in the panel?
Location of those holes on the trim panel?
What size do the holes need to be so the trim attachment clips can mount into them?
What do the trim clips look like to mount the trim to?

I hoping one of you may have some engineering drawings or pictures from shop manuals with the location of the holes.
I'm inexperienced when it comes to E bodies any information is more than helpful.

Just for clarification, that link is: “e-bodies.org”, the best Ebody site IMO.
It’s not FEBO or often referred to E Bodies Only
