MuuMuu101's 68 Dart, A Learning Process...
Well, I got tired with dealing with the headers hitting the power steering box (they're rubbing a tad) so I decided to try my hand with the door and trim piece. I followed a mopart's member's advice to drill the holes up until I got to the center clips (as I don't know where to get them). That advice was awesome, easy, and fairly straight forward.
In lieu of the plastic clips usually found on the inside of the door, I decided to stack up layers of double sided tape. I layed a layer of painter's tape across the door and piece of trim and then toward the center of the trim I stacked the double sided tape. That way, when I decided to go to clips, I can just pull the layers of painter's tape and continue drilling holes. But I checked it to make sure and there are so many layers of painter's tape that the trim doesn't rattle as the tape absorbs all the vibration.
I have to say, I am so glad that I got this piece of trim on. Not only do I feel complete that I have all of the trim on the car, but I felt somewhat accomplished when I haven't gotten much done with it.
