Those are AWESOME!  I bet they’re super easy to break, too - but they’re awesome

I did these with sewing needles and aluminum duct tape. I don't have them, here, but beading needles make excellent-looking retainer cables for the wire clips. I have usually made those from fine wire. The Impala was built from one of the Hasegawa "American '65" series. Just a slammer. The closeup was taken with an old web cam, so, I apologize for its lack of clarity.

Lately I have been using the Pro Tech ones. 

I like the DM ones but they are a lot of work.
