64-66 body question

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Johan,

I removed these trim pieces myself before sending my '65 convertible to the
restoration shop.  I wish now I had just let the shop do it but at the time
I hadn't found the shop!  Some of the fasteners are easy to reach (i.e. the
ones you can get to in the trunk compartment) but others can really be a
pain.  I used a nut driver (screwdriver looking tool with a socket on the
end) but had to use other types of wrenches (open/closed end, socket etc.)
for some of the fasteners in the front quarter panel areas.  The pieces on
the doors can be trying to say the least (door panels must be CAREFULLY
removed first obviously) with all the motors, window glides etc. to maneuver
around.  It will take some time but they will come off intact if you are
careful.  There are small thin rubber washers or spacers so be careful with
those too.  I guess they wouldn't be too difficult to replace if you tear
one or two.  I remember scraping a few knuckles and cutting a thumb removing
this trim because some of the spaces are really cramped.  Be patient and
take your time.  Good luck!
