Nany of the larger body repair supply companys have a huge supply of clips.The Cyclone clips are plastic and are held on with a "POP"rivet. ROY.

The details say:
"Exact reproduction of the original clips used on 63/65 Falcon and Ranchero lower rocker panel moldings. Fits all rocker moldings for 63/65 Falcon, 62/64 Fairlane, 64/65 Comet..."
Then "65 and later applications are plastic and are not currently available."

Looks like the clips are the same for Caliente and Cyclone. Is this right? Are any of the Comet clips plastic?

Thanks again guys.

Joe;Cyclones have the narrow trim below the door,running continuously from the front wheel opening to the rear wheel opening,totally different than our Calientes.I've never seen a 65 Comet with rocker mouldings but if there are some it should be the same as a Falcon. ROY.

I have a 1997 catalog from Restoration Specialties in Windber,Pa. You should call them for a catalog 814 467-9842. They sell tons of clips and fasteners and have actual size illustrations.
I'm going to need all the clips eventually ,myself. Don
