Safe Trim Removal
I'm getting ready to start doing body work on my '69 GMC. The truck has both upper and lower moldings. The moldings are in excellent condition (except for the black paint) and I don't want to damage them when I take them off for the body work. I have a couple of questions with which I'd like your help...
1. What is a safe way to remove the moldings - do I slide them off or pry them off? What is the technique? 2. Can the clips be reused after the trim is removed or do I need to buy another set? Thanks in advance for your help.
