Junkyard run...figures you never find what you want

ya i might score some of this extra bracing for my car.. theres tons of GPs in the yard..

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

the wheel well chrome trim that goes in between the fender and the wheel well.

You mean the wheel arch trims? Those are getting tough to find in a condition I would consider acceptable. Most are dinged in at least one spot, and I have enough pieces that have a ding or two already so I wouldn't pull them. If you like, I can give you some of my blemished leftovers when I am done with my car for free if we ever meet up at a show or swap meet. I don't know if I have a whole set, but I do have at least 2 or three. The ding free ones I have are going on my car when I can get the damn trim clips for the lower molding that I am missing. (How hard can it be to find one car that no one has molested so I can harvest two damn plastic clips?)

85 Cutlass....I'm removing the lower chrome molding on my GP in the near future and I think that use the same clips as on your Cutlass. Let me know what clips your missing and I'll be happy to send them to you.

Unfortunately, they do not use the same clips. I checked every GM product I could for a car that also uses these clips and nothing else does. I have checked every other G body, both 2 and 4 door, every Cadillac and just about every B body and even the baby Caddys that were sold in the 80's. The closest I could find was on a baby De Ville (1986), but they were about 1/4 in too short.

cutlass...I don't know why I didn't think of this before....we have a cutlass sitting at out race shop so I'll take a look at it when I get there after work and let you know if the clips are there...if they are they're all yours and I'll send them to you....

yeah i think thats what we are both talking about, if you have them that will be awesome because i dont have anything there now but i have front ones.

 

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

I know I have one of them, but I will have to look and see if I have the other. I have a ton of fronts as I just found another set last night.
