Am I crazy for doing this on a 65 Barracuda ?

I found some round clips that seem like they will work. You can probably find something at the auto parts store also.

Layson's should still have the correct reproduction of that clip for the quarter panel upper trim. I bought some not too long ago. #GZ-88148. Here's a picture of the clips. Still requires your own seal method.
