1966 Chateau Slate L78 Chevelle

[OneStopRestoration]

Put on the rocker trim this weekend. Have several originals to see how the factory very thinly painted the lines. Lots of masking and like 3 mins of painting. I have another 66 SS waiting on restoration that had the original pieces un touched with the factory screws shown below. There chromed #8s with a very low profile. Very similar to a wheel well molding screw, but a slightly smaller head diameter. In fact AMK has a screw pretty close to this that I used.

I used NOS pieces for the side mouldings. As a piece of advice to avoid issues its best to fill all the holes the factory puts in and place your own. Couple of shots below of the drivers side. I rolled the car out of the garage today to clean things up. Car is finally starting to look really good. Just a piece of unique information comparing 66 to 67. I had original shots of the screws and clips, the screws are #8s of my car. I got confused because over the years I have robbed plenty of the these clips and thought the screws were #10s. Come to find out in the AIM 66 did use a #8 and 67 and I assume later used #10s.
