Anybody installed the Front Fender Apron To Cowl Seals? Originally they were stapled from what I've seen. What fasteners did you use and how have they held up?
Thanks in advance,
Will

Yea, I did on my 67. They came out pretty well. I used the plastic clip deals that came with the seals. I had to drill a few holes and I ignored the staples. If you go to http://home.comcast.net/~oiga/ you can check out some photos I took of mine. Let me know if you need more or better photos and I'd be happy to email them to you.

Mine came with new staples.
I pre-drilled holes and folded the staples over with needle nose. It was a pretty big pain in the rear end.
If you are reusing the inner fenders, you can use your existing holes. I was working with new inners...

I did the staples thing in the preexisting holes on my inners that I was reusing like Duck stated. Yes its royal PITA.
