I have been going through YOGI's wagon build and saw that you got some new wheel well molding. I always thought the wagon had a different shape and therefore the available moldings would NOT fit. Is that true? How did they come out on your car?

I haven't installed them yet but I have placed them on the wagon for test fit and the shape is perfect and the fit also.

Dam all these years I thought the wagon and coupes had different wheel well profiles. I need to order a set

Trying to change the magical bag of tricks into something. Well everything I do to wagon is serving a purpose toward the Felix the cat theme. Have you figured this part out yet?

Well today I didnt get much done. Due to running back and forth to the store trying to find the right parts to work for me. I did get the the the brass fitting in the roof so that I can go ahead and install the headliner without having to remove the headliner again. I couldn't figure out what type of fasteners were used because they were so deteriorated. So this is the route I chose to go.

Well not long ago someone on here posted a page from a service manual that listed ALL the screws sizes and part numbers for the wagon luggage rack. Also it showed those pieces you are replacing. Found them on ebay too. Guess Im a little late. GM well nuts part # 14002811
