You either love them or hate them. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I'd only use them for driving around, that's why I dont want to drill any holes to permanently mount them. These cars have such an horrendous design when it comes to vulnerability to flying gravel, road debris, etc. - especially those rear flares.

Anyway, I like my paint a lot more than I care about my reputation as a cool dude. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

I know they look cheesy but they are 1972 vintage cheesy and very rare GM original pieces. Those clamps were the least damaging think I could think of to temporarily mount them.

Verne do you have a photo or link of the contraptions your talking about?

I think the car really needs those Yosemite Sam mud flaps to be period correct! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Dont tempt me. I do still have my "Keep On Truckin" floor mats from my 74 Chevy, still in the garage. I think it's high time I got them thar high fallutin suckers out.

Sorry, no photo. Leaving for York soon. They're about 1/2" long, 1/8" diameter with about a 5/16" dia pan head. They're a little fatter on the end so when you pop them in the hole they tend to stay put. IF you put a daub of body seam sealer or rtv on the hole, that should keep moisture out of the hole. Restoration Specialties in Windber, Pa carries them.

How about using binder clips..

Re: Home at last...
 

Not nearly enough tension with those binder clips. I have a set of old clear plexiglass mudflaps from my dad's old 67 427 Vette. They have these funky little temporary clips that are shaped like a ram's horn. I'm going to see if they will work on these.

Re: Home at last...
 

What about double-sided sticky tape, such as what's used to hold on various forms of side trim & moldings?

Re: Home at last...
 

I'm trying to make it the most temporary mounting as possible - just when I go for a drive, and can pull them of when I get to the show. The two sided tape will pull off the paint. I'm looking for less obtrusive ways to clamp/hold them in place in the back. At least in the front there are a couple factory bolt holes that can be used.

flexible magnets?
