Drip rail shaving on a first gen?

[67rstbkt]

Has anyone here ever shaved off the drip rails on a first gen? I'm doing up a 67 Firebird and allready started cutting off the drip rails. I'm hoping that I'm going about this the right way. Are there any pics out there? Thanks.

Lots of examples around best to do a search, here is a nice one...

Not a first gen, but did it on my Demon. I cut about 3-4" at a time then welded, grind,weld,grind,cut,weld,grind.............you get the idea, it was time consuming and was the first time doing it.

I don't have pics. , but a quik trik I have used for a clean look is simply hammer/dolly the vertical lip over flat towards the roof. Dress smooth
with a body grinder,radius the ends nice,apply epoxy and then create/fill
entire length with a small amount of reinforced polyester filler . Use your finger to make an even radius. Paint it

Thanks for the tips, that's the general direction I was heading with this. Does anyone else have any in progress pics on a first gen F-body?

Here check this out.
I am in the other boat. I need a set of drip rails, does anyone know if you can buy them?

Thanks, that's awesome. I think I saw some drip rails on ebay recently, but am unsure. I believe they came up on a search under 1967 Firebird.
