Steve: Having just painted my '62, I have gone
through much of this. I did not remove all chrome because I was only
shooting for a #3 restoration and really didn't want to create more problems
by finding rust under the chrome. My car did not originally have wheel
well chrome or rocker panel chrome but I opted to find some to put on.
The wheel well chrome was not a problem but I have not been able to find the
required 3 5/8" rocker panel clips and I have done a lot of
searching. We will be improvising as result...will let you know how that
works...should be done within the next week or so.

Subject: IML: Question on trim
clips
I'm new to the IML and new to my 61 Crown Coupe. In
planning and preparation
for a future paint job, I have a question that has a
great bearing on
removing ALL the trim.
Are ALL of the clips available that will be needed to
replace the trim on my
car, if in fact ALL of the trim is removed for
painting? I have had painters
tell me you can really get yourself in a mess if the
clips can't be had. I
realize taping off is not the ideal method, but if
replacing this huge
amount of trim is going to be a major problem, I
certainly might consider
it.
Any help here will be appreciated.
Thanks to all,
Steve
