Does anyone have any pictures of the hole locations or can tell me the number of side GTE trim chrome moldings used for each door and panel are?? The original holes have been body worked over before I got the body shell so I have nothing to reference apart from placing the moldings where I believe they go and guessing the number of trim moldings attachments were used for each but I’d like to drill the holes as close to factory as possible. Thanks.
To the best I can remember, there are 10 clips on front fenders, 5 or 6 on doors, and 5 clips and 5 screws on quarters. If the car had holes before, then the only to fill them, is to weld them up or spread plastic over them, ether way you should be able to find them from behind the panels, unless they were never there.
I think the assembly manual diagrams it well.
Thanks, the car was missing the fenders and doors when I got it so no reference could be made but I thought I’d throw out a general request so I had all the measurements.
Thanks Don, I have a few manuals except that one and I was planning on getting one anyway, I just kind of need the measurement and locations asap before I give her back to the body guy.
So I bought the 68 body assembly manual and unless I’m missing something the GTE side moldings are not shown. 
Which page is it shown on?
i had the same problem because i build an GT-E clone, and of course no mounting holes here in my cougar… i measured it by myself and it came pretty close to the original…
the mounting holes are exact 44 holes… i have a set of original GT-E restoration pictures where you can see how many holes are there…
- Rear 6 holes on each side and 5 holes with the screws
- Front Fenders 10 holes on each side
- Doors 6 on each side
makes 44 holes total except the 10 screw holes for the rear

here is an original GT-E Fender

here is mine with the WCCC mouldings
Perfect, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Nice clone you have going there. I’m not doing a clone but I was missing to much to properly do the holes and there is zero info on this on the web. The parts venders are reluctant to help for some reason.
No Problem
