Dive into the hood...hard color to lay out...used "flop" to stabilize metalflake. Color has 2 types of metalflake.

When a Doctor "saves a Life" it does not necessarily mean that that life will ever be the same as it was, but he still saved it. My 46 may not be as it was but it is still alive.

Peter,
Although I don't have this car - I'll bite.
How did you make the clips.
Your method may tweak someone's imagination to make some for themselves.
Have fun,
Steve B.

Use #6 stainless 3/4" pan head screws. File or grind the head and put two fine grooves on opposite edge near head so they slide in the molding track. If you remove the right amount of material, and not too much, they will slide and be snug so when you put the nut on from the backside they will not spin.
