: Need a picture of rear 68 RS wheel molding installed

I'd like to see if anyone can take a closeup picture of the rear RS wheel (quarter) molding installed, where it ends at the front and back of the wheelwell.

The part numbers that I assume to be correct would be 7795063 (Right Rear) and 7705064 (Left Rear). In test fitting mine to drill the holes, I don't know how far forward and back to position the molding.

Many thanks

Kevin, here's the passengers side front (drivers side is the same). Is this what you're looking for?

And here's the passengers side rear (again, the drivers side is the same).

And yes, that's bondo you see! The car needs new quarters...

Yes, thank you; that was what I was looking for. I wanted to do a test fit and drill the holes before going to final paint. I tried to take some pictures but my camera does not like the flash reflection off of the fuel tank or something, so below is the best that I could make of my situation.

I have new Goodmark quarters, and there is a 'notch' on the lower back of the quarter and it causes the molding to fit strangely. My '69 quarter panel has that similar feature, but its a non-RS car. The lower rear screw hole either has to not be used or all or placed at the extreme lower portion of the quarter panel lip. What I did not know was where the front of the molding started and your picture helps a lot. I now know that I have to probably mount my RS molding first or at the same time as my trim to make sure it all fits.

Thanks again; I think these pictures will help others who need to know how they fit.
