Subject: Re: IML: Question on trim clipsI refinished my 60 Crown last year and was able to find all the trim clips without a whole lot of trouble. I would definitely recommend removing all the trim before you paint. It's not a big problem and it's a whole lot easier polishing the chrome when it's off the car. I was able to find some of the clips at a local body shop supply store and the rest I bought from a vendor at the Chryslers at Carlisle show.Tom60 Crown----- Original Message -----From: Patricia PruittSent: Saturday, July 28, 2007 12:55 PMSubject: RE: IML: Question on trim clipsSteve: Having just painted my '62, I have gone through much of this. I did not remove all chrome because I was only shooting for a #3 restoration and really didn't want to create more problems by finding rust under the chrome. My car did not originally have wheel well chrome or rocker panel chrome but I opted to find some to put on. The wheel well chrome was not a problem but I have not been able to find the required 3 5/8" rocker panel clips and I have done a lot of searching. We will be improvising as result...will let you know how that works...should be done within the next week or so.Patricia Anderson Pruitt28289 Norris RoadBozeman, Montana 59718pruittghl@xxxxxxx (406) 579-0001-----Original Message-----

Subject: IML: Question on trim clipsI'm new to the IML and new to my 61 Crown Coupe. In planning and preparationfor a future paint job, I have a question that has a great bearing onremoving ALL the trim.Are ALL of the clips available that will be needed to replace the trim on mycar, if in fact ALL of the trim is removed for painting? I have had painterstell me you can really get yourself in a mess if the clips can't be had. Irealize taping off is not the ideal method, but if replacing this hugeamount of trim is going to be a major problem, I certainly might considerit.Any help here will be appreciated.Thanks to all,SteveTexas61 Crown Coupe----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ; -----------------This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
