C1 Front fender molding holes

[Roger W.]

Unfortunatly former owners of my 59 made many trips to BuBu's Auto Body Shop. The mounting holes for the top moldings on the front fenders have been ground out resulting in odd shapes. Are The mounting holes slotted or just a hole? Can anybody post a photo of mounting holes for the top moldinga on a C1 fender?

Thanks,

Roger

Slotted for adjustibility....if both sides are extraordinarily so, you may want to stop now and get the car to a frame shop that can validate that everything is where it is supposed to be.

Here's pictures from the OE glass on my '59:

The front 9 measure 0.50 by 0.25 (left shot)
The rear 2 measure 0.31 by 0.19 (right shot)

The holes are slightly skewed from straight fore-aft.

Thank you for the photos and measurements. I was concerned about the odd shape of the holes, but after viewing your photos my holes appear to be pretty close to your holes.
