Title: '68 Wheel well mouldings....INSTALLATION!
Post by: feastersss on January 17, 2021, 11:46:03 PM: I have a '68 SS/RS and wanting to install wheel well mouldings but having issues with some interference with the lower body moulding on the front fenders, anyone have any ideas where the full length moulding needs to be cut or can I purchase the correct ones?

I think there is discussions on this topic- (Search) i think Ed had great #'s

For Me; I bought GM mouldings from Classic Camaro (1980's) & they were out of the Z22 fronts and substituted the full arc Front and I got them to fit fine w/ the three pc lower trim, It looks goofy but 99.9% folks do not notice. (*My rears are GM Z22) & stop at rs rocker trim.
