Sorry to bore you with this one again, but I'm still looking for info if somebody can help...

I'm in the midst of restoring a frost blue '68 Barracuda 340-S fastback for my Mother, to replace her beloved red '65 273-S that she sold a few years back, and has regretted ever since.

I have a question about rocker moldings. The car is coded to have them, but a previous owner filled the holes with bondo and/or weld when repainting the car. I managed to find some of the molding pieces, but am now somewhat confused as to what's supposed to be on it.

I have the ribbed pieces that go in front of the rear wheel, and one thin piece for the driver's side which slides onto the ribbed piece, and runs along the top side of the rocker. I'm missing the thin piece for the passenger side.

It appears that there were four large holes filled along the rocker. Was there possibly another piece to this moulding set that I'm missing? It's not real clear in the '68 parts book. Looking at the pictures of Brett's (Barracuda340S) car, it appears that I have everything (minus the thin trim for the passenger side) to make it look like his.

Any ideas? Thanks.

The thin rocker molding should have a screw hole in the front on the fender. When we repainted my car this winter the rocker's were fixed covering all my holes. I installed the finned pieces in front of the rear wheel's and then drilled a hole for the front screw's that went into the fender's on the thin rocker molding's. Then just run a tape line under the rocker molding so you know where to drill the holes. I only drilled one under the middle of the door. I used a inner dooor panel push clip to hold it on. If you have any question's cal me at 1 319 470 2873 and I will walk you through it.
