Stuff is still out there

Just scored this 69 Chevelle rear body panel lower molding.
NOS and complete minus 1 plastic clip.
Spendy but oh well.

Hard to find the molding alone, let alone the clips. Congrats.

That was worth it. Is there any place that offers those bathtub clips?

No idea on the clips.

Saw it on epay and IMMEDIATELY pushed "buy it now".
There was one a few months ago with no clips and it brought the same money.

Happy and will look for clips.

The repops have clips and they have to come from somewhere.

The hunt is part of the fun.

The price seems spendy, but not compared to '66 Chevelle moldings... $600 for a pair of NOS fender "eye brow" moldings and that was a several years ago.
You did good grabbing that...

Yes, look around on eBay. I bought some from a different seller a few years ago....unfortunately never got an opportunity to try them on the NOS molding I had because it vanished into thin air after entrusting it to someone who shall remain nameless

Repops use all studs and nuts similar to the outboard stud/nut combo you pictured.
