Mounting 40's Cadilalc rocker moldings

[gary griffin]

   Getting closer to finishing and now I need to mount the rocker moldings on my 1942-6719.

   There are a series of very small holes in the rocker area,  almost too small for screws.  I have acquired some parts but the top pieces have square holes apparently for carriage bolts.

   There is no way to access the back of the body to install nuts so I will need to  use screws.

   The moldings have different dimensions from the top of the mounting strips so I need a reference measurement to install the top strips. Possibly from the door bottom to the top of the moldings

The accessory pieces for the bottom and ends are confusing also. I can see that they hang on the top strips but how are the bottoms secure and how are they kept in place so they will not slide back and forth??

Any advice will be appreciated.  Hopefully I will be updating my restoration blog soon with new pictures and information.
