Post by: dmkberger on 2025-07-02 17:16
Here are a couple of pictures of the car, one of the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII engine and how it fits SO nice.
The other is the drivers side quarter panel without the trim...

The reproduction clips for that piece are useless, I ended up using various universal clips with threaded studs you can get to some of them through the opening behind the seat and some through the access panel in the side of the bed and with the tail light out, the ones in the middle I think I used the twisted spring loaded clips like is used on the front fender.

I tried the clips just like these and had a difficult time with them. I then found the kit with inside and outside channel felt which came with the clips installed and it makes a WORLD of difference. I would never do another without using that Felt Kit...
