Most of you know that I am trying to get my car close to being done for the Somernites Cruise show next weekend (i won't have the interior done...but). I've been running through website after website trying to get moulding clips as cheap as possible as I'm out of many (as alot of us are). After thinking and thinking some more, it donged on me that I still have some very good friends that might be able to help out. Heck, I got the clips I have now from a member on here. So, I thought I would give it a shot and ask for your help once again. I need stainless moulding clips like these:

and these:

and these

and these:

and these
(taillight/backup light screws)

I don't know if I can get the screws local. Anyone know if I can?

I hate to even ask but it seems I just can't get ahead (sell something, something else breaks or the truck needs new tires, etc....you guys know).

I'll pay for them and shipping. I just can't justify spending $100 on clips right now but I don't want to go to a show with half of my stainless on. I thought about leaving the beltline stainless off, it wouldn't look too bad would it?

I've got a couple of the big butterfly clips for the long quarter stainless but none of the medium ones. I'm also missing about 2 of the small butterfly clips for the top quarter stainless. I think I have the 2 concaved clips for the ends of the door stainless but none of the medium clips that goes inbetween them. I think I am missing a couple of medium clips for the passenger front fender. I don't have any of the beltline clips except for the old broken ones that I removed. the studs on the fin mouldings have rusted away, all except one.
I'll look again for some screws for the taillight lenses but I think I have scavenged all I have but maybe I can pick some up at a hardware store. All the extra screws I have, the heads won't fit.

Any help on any of this would be appreciated. Thanks a head of time for any suggestions or help.

Josh those screws look like regular panhead screws. I can get those at the local Ace Hardware store. Just get the size and thread you need and buy what you need.

Josh, Call East Coast Chevy in PA and talk to Jack or Ken. They will sell you just what you need for clips & hardware so you don't have to buy a complete set only to use some of it. They also have better prices than Ecklers do.

Josh...If I had mine together and had extra laying around, I'd be glad to send you whatever I had.....Bruce has recommended the correct place to acquire hardware items.
