Re: INTERIOR PANEL TRIM - 59 BELVIE CONVERTIBLE

Actually I did not remove the strip as several of the prongs were still there. There is room for the fastener to go into the stainless. I did have to grind off what was left of a broken prong with a Dremmel, to get the fastener in place to use the same hole. You could put the fastener next to the br...

Re: INTERIOR PANEL TRIM - 59 BELVIE CONVERTIBLE

Dick, I had some of the prongs broken off on my trim, and I modified some fasteners to take their place.

Re: Engine color

The engine block color is silver, the valve covers a more gray silver and the air cleaner red. See photo of my Belvedere convertible in the Showcase.
