CONVERSION
Conversion of Caprice Classic to Caprice SS
I purchased a new set of side body moldings from
my local Chevrolet Dealer. They were only
available in Black, because all other colors had
been discontinued. I had to cut them to size and I
painted them using Dupli-Color 5oz. spray can
#DSGM449 (Dark Cherry Metallic), then clear
coated using Dupli-Color clear.

To get the molding applied straight I used a roll of
3/4" masking tape and ran a strip from fender well
to fender well, with the top edge aligned and
following the natural body crease. I then aligned
the molding up against the bottom edge of the
masking tape. This gave me a perfect 3/4" drop
below the side body crease and gave me a straight
edge to follow when applying the molding.
