Dear all, I have just done this job on my '61. It is a fair bet that the rocker
moulding clips on the '55 operate in a similar fashion.
Look for pairs of small metal tags at the bottom of the rocker moulding.
These are the lower part of the fasteners. Then gently lever the
moulding outwards from the bottom lip one fastener at a time. When you have
popped the whole lower lip, the moulding can be lifted upwards off the
clips. On the '61, the rear wheel mouldings and the stone chip guards are held
in place with self tapping screws. The '55 may be different.
Chances are the clips will be rusted away in places. Gary Goers may have
some new clips. I know he has some from '59 through '66 but don't expect a rapid
response. Some of our favourite used parts suppliers may be able to help too.
Bob Hoffmeister and Murray Park come to mind.
Best wishes,
Tony V.
