The area below the "Coke bottle line" should be painted semi-gloss black, and the moldings installed. Then it will look right.

Edit: If it's an RS, that is. If not, just putting the spear molding on would be an improvment.

 

Yea.. thats kinda what I was thinking (its SS only)

Is is safe to assume that there is no difference between RS or SS fenders/doors?

 

Doors are the same. The RS fenders are only different in the headlight mounting area.

 

Nice car, Joe...where in CA are you?

I agree with Kyvox. Put on the "spear" moldings and it'll look good!

There is a "seam" from the bottom of the door, thru the rear 1/4, but not thru the fender, thats why, without the little chrome spear, it looks weird. The spear sorta camouflages the line.

 

If you look at my sig, you can see what a '67 rs looks like (for reference).

 

How many different moulding configurations were there? I have seen a 1 piece that runs the entire length and a 3 piece that follows the body lines.
Mine is the 3 piece:

I have been confused about this for quite awhile just never got around to researching it. Is mine mounted wrong?

 

Yea in researching Ive seen pictures of a wide strip on the bottom roughly 2" wide, then Ive seen the 3/4" strip. Then theres the miriad of RS rocker moldings..

Someone's gotta have a definitive answer

 

There are 3 different style moldings. 67,68,69 nonRS and 69 RS use the one piece spear molding only. 67 RS also uses the spear molding with the addition of the wide chrome at the bottom of the door, fender and quarter panel. 68 RS has the 3 piece segmented spear molding that follows the body line.

 

Hey Steve, Do you have a close-up of your rocker molding so I can get a better idea of where to place it?

Or does anyone have any measurements? how far down from the bottom of the door sill for a 68 ss?

Joe

 

Thanks John.

 

Sorry its taken so long to respond. I was going to take a pic, but we got hit with a bit of a storm, just about the same time as I got hit by this friggin' head cold. I only catch a cold about once every 1 1/2 to 2 years, but when I do...its a doozy!
Any way, the chrome strip is under the door opening and the quarter seam, almost right on the edge, maybe 1/8 th inch below and straight ahead to the fender.

 

I found this picture:

This look about right?

 

Yep!
