Thumbs up Thanks

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?

Smile Thanks!!

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.

Default drip rails

had mine done 2yrs ago, but not all the way down. there is still a outline of the driprail so that it still looks there but when you look closely it isn't.

For anyone else looking, they re-pop these now. Ricks has them for $185 for the pair. They are designed to weld onto the body **under** the roof and quarter panels.

when you cut off the driprails cut a couple of inches at a time tack weld every couple inches, repeat do not weld up fully use small tacks away from each other untill you have it completely welded to keep from warping, do not use epoxy and make sure its completely welded to avoid any shrinking.

Thanks for the advice. I'm still trying to decide if I should go the grind/weld route or make trim pieces like on 57CUDA's Camaro.
