Hardware and special trim molding clips 1960 convertible.

I'm looking for a good source for Stainless steel hardware & the clips for my Trim work . Do they make a Kit

No

My best suggestion is go to NAPA and look at their book of fastenerd and clips. I do know that the eyebrow trim clips are unobtanium.

Thank you .

I second the suggestion to try Napa. Previously our local Auto Paint Supplier would have a lot of clips available too. Haven't looked lately. 

You might find some of what you need here:    https://jcaparts.com/collections/cadillac-clips-fasteners/1960


Caddy Daddy is also advertising clip sets for 1960. Cha ching!!!

Try Restoration Specialties for trim clips.

Maybe more work than you want to take on, but I have found that finding junk yards and parts cars for sale, you can find just about any OEM clips your looking for.

In the good ol'days, when I was a fanatic for an OEM frame off restoration, I even searched for OEM mounting hardware to find just the right bolt heads, front to back and in between.
Ok obsessive sure, but at least they weren't from a hardware store - JUST SAYING.

In helping my son with his 49 GMC short bed pick-up RAT ROD project - with a 53 Cad front bumper and grill - Necessity is the mother of invention, and modifying aftermarket clips from completely different eras or makes and models is NO SHAME.
And besides a buddy once told me, who's going to see them anyway.

Have fun,

On point to my earlier post today - look in the FOR SALE CARS section under "5 1960 Cadillacs - not mine" for a possible source.

Have fun,

About 15 years ago I started a multi-year, spare-time project cleaning then polishing rusty & greasy nuts, bolts, clips, brackets, other small pieces using a vibratory tumbler.

Originally purcha$ed the first Vibratory Tumbler from Eastwood along with their Metal Wash powder but that one didn't last very long. Then I saw Harbor Freight also had them and over the next couple years I went through several of them.

We had 1000s of pieces from cars that we parted over several decades and now all the pieces are cleaned, polished and sorted by type / style, size, etc.  Doesn't mean we don't occasionally have to buy something but  have most of what we need right at hand.

Sometimes you have to get creative. Those black "Christmas tree" fasteners can be used. I have made working fasteners by cutting the mushroom top so it slides in the trim piece. Napa has them, so does a company called Hillman. Also try Ace Hardware for things that can be "made" to work.
