Topic: 1970 Mach 1 rocker moulding/Side cladding Main Thread

[Kdclem]

I'm posting a couple of pictures here hoping someone may have more detail on the hardware that holds the cladding together.  The one pdf file is from Osborn.  The bubble call outs are difficult to read.    The other photo is the piece that holds the cladding to the door.  I have 2 of them and need 12.  I cannot find this wire spring connector in the Osborn catalog either.  Ideally I'm looking for a complete list of hardware for the Cladding.  Thanks in advance.

AMK has most of the cladding hardware. At least they did when I restored mine. This was probably the most tedious parts to restore on my Mach.

i to will need cladding hardware. 
ive not found a kit for it. do i have to purchase seperate hardware?? mark

[alanmac]

It needs to be stripped, polished then replated a fairly expensive endeavour

Cladding was originally done in a dark argent not black

Going to merge this thread with an earlier one to keep things together and to make it easier for others to find information using the search feature

I had mine restored by King of Trim in CA.  All road rash and dents removed polished and then anodized with the correct chemistry.  They turned out beautiful.  My trim is not painted to OEM paint color, either is my hood stripe.

Hi All,
I am in the process of restoring my rocker molds and understand this is in color of dark argent.

Would this be gloss or satin?

Many Thanks

It's a satin/egg shell looking finish like most argents were

Our largest thread on the subject of 70 Mach I side cladding and where I will likely attach this thread

Don't forget the black out detail behind the cladding applied on the Mach I's before the cladding was attached. Differed slightly depending on the car assembly plant.

Thread on that

Thanks Jeff for this. Good to know and will do.

Does anyone have the code for this dark argent? is it DDL33053??




Also is Deep argent the same beast?

Thank you
