I need to purchase clips to fasten the stainless to the car.  Can anyone tell me the part numbers and supplier for the needed clips?  I see Dennis Carpenter has some but I want to make an informed purchase so I don't have return them.

Thanks for the help that I know will be provided!

I made my own with assorted sizes of Elevator bolts and studs welded on strips of 18 gauge sheetmetal.Looked around and found them to be very expensive in the last few years....

IF I remember... seems I bought clips from Dennis Carpenter and they weren't right. I wound up buying the clips from Restoration Specialties. They have a great assortment of all kinds of small parts but I had to get a paper catalog from them, their website was lacking but that was several years ago...

The easiest way (IMO) to go about it is use a BODY SUPPLIER like -

I would also consider nylon retainers to prolong that $$$ paint job.

These (PIC) go in the lowest point of the side molding.

Thanks for info, I will needing it. Is there a clip breakdown for front doors and front fender on forum also?

70A (Custom) uses no door or fender moldings.

COS is not the original poster. We'd need more info on COS's car.................probably a Custom 300 (70B?), but need him to confirm.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Hello  Thanks for info. My car is 66b ranchero. I thought the SS trim was the same as cars with single full length SS (not cars with diamond AL gold inserts) I need all of them.

The model 70A has side trim as pictured in reply #1 this post.

I have bought from this company.  Mr G's fasteners.

You have to download his catalog and when printed on letter it prints to scale. 
I found some that work on my 57 hardtop Victoria trim.
The pricing is much cheaper than some places even if you have to modify them a bit.  I forget what pages they are but he's got. A few pages of metal clips and some for plastic clips.

Abe... Incredible resource......
Not sure if the OP is asking about a 300 or a plain Custom..... but I can verify. the 300 custom has over 100 trim holes to fill....  I wish I would have known about Mr. G.
good prices and enough to do the trick!
