I did this to my 87Ram, they're the #1 leading cause for rust on those trucks, never had a problem with water or anything. it really cleans the roof of the vehicle up nice

Along the lines of the old school street rods, does anyone have any experience with shaved drip rails? I'd love to shave my 66 dart 2dr. post, but since it's a daily driver up here in the drippy NW, I'm wondering how the door weatherstripping will hold up to the increased weather exposure. Thoughts? |

This can be done but I think it looks better on a older car such as a 52 chev or ford full custom and your right in that the drip rail is called a drip rail for a reason as it provides a small "awning" over the windows.Also remember that the drip rail provdes a ledge to attach the roof skin so if you do decide to remove them you need to weld the seam above the doors. Now with all that said,Idid see a mid sixtys ford falcon 2 door sedan that had this treatment and it looked fairly trick.Just make sure your weatherstrips are sealing. Hope this helps. HyperValiant |
