krum1969396 Jan 23rd, 01, 5:18 PM On a 69 Chevelle there is a upper and lower molding on the tailpan. The bottom is the widest. There is a difference in the lower one with it having a wider bead on one side of the black stripe than the other. Which way does it go, wide bead at bottom or top? bottlerat Jan 23rd, 01, 5:57 PM Krum,i'm looking at a picture of a 69.and it looks like the larger bead go's to the bottom.i don't know for sure. i'd have to look at mine know for sure.give it a try and see how it matches the tail light bezel.hope this has been of some help. ------------------ Don Edmonds T.C.Member 1033 1969 Chevelle 2000 Harley softail deuce www.bottlerats69.homestead.com BLURAT Jan 24th, 01, 1:37 AM I'm almost positive that as you look at the moulding from the end, it installs with the wider portion facing down...However, I would consult with "VON" as he is the man IMO as his fine 69SS bears witness to this ! http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif Later-Shawn ------------------ Jovelle Jan 24th, 01, 5:13 AM There should be some slits on the mldg,on the edge for water to drain, these go down von Jan 24th, 01, 5:21 AM Aw shucks. You're too kind Shawn. I have to admit I'm not positive but I think on the bottom molding, the wider beveled bead is the upper one. It matches the the tailight trim better and allows water to drain off easier. I could be wrong. ------------------ von '69 300 Dlx SS TC #15 ACES #1575 [This message has been edited by von (edited 01-24-2001).] [This message has been edited by von (edited 01-24-2001).] krum1969396 Jan 24th, 01, 3:24 PM Thinking about it, it does make sense that the water opening would be down. Thanks much. | ||
