I was able to finish of the rear quarter trim this evening. Acting on a tip from a conversation I had with a local body and paint guy he suggested that the trim clips behind the rear door panels might be the push in type. When I got home I rolled down the rear window and with a flashlight was able to see in fact they were the push in type - which meant I did not have to take the rear seat and door panels off. Big time saver. Instead of waiting for the weekend I dove right in after dinner. Less than an hour later and both sides were done. Big relief to have this phase done. Now on to the hubcaps. The (hopefully) correct silver paint will be delivered tomorrow so that will become my weekend project now that I have some more time.

Thank you very much. This has been quite the learning experience so far and we still have more to go.

I have to say, I don't ever recall seeing a '62 Impala with anything but White in the trim and the Blue is really cool.
