Has anyone in the club put the two piece drip rail mouldings on a 77 or 78 pinto ? I`m having problems with the fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the two piece ones on mine. They came off of a 74, they are the metal chrome ones not the plastic ones.
I found them to be a little loose in places, but I just closed the inside track a little more with pliers (after wrapping the trim in a towel first). They are holding nice and tight so far!
I think i already know the answer to this question, but are the metal drip rail trim reppopped?
I have the plastic trim on my 78 and it is breaking apart...

Not that I know of. The early cars had metal drip rail trim pieces. The 71-73? cars had stainless ones where the later 74-76? had anodized ones. The 77-80 were plastic. I am not sure exactly where the cutoff dates are but I do know there is a difference.
I did away with my drip rail moldings on my '78 & 9 because the plastic moldings, after time, are a big cracking, fraying, splitting, faded joke. Just painted the rails to match the car
Well guys!!!! with a little T L C we got them on, And many thanks to Doc from the club who sold them to me,, they look great.... Thanks Doc,,, for the parts, great guy to buy from!!!!!!!
