Re: Filled drip rail pics
Do you mean fill in the channel? I did that on my 63. I used Duraglass.

Re: Filled drip rail pics
I don't have any pics where you can really see the channel. And I sold this truck a while back. But, the channel repair wasn't really noticeable to an untrained eye.
Here's one pic. I would suggest, if you're gonna do it don't use Bondo because it will crack when applied thick. I used Duraglass first, then feathered it with Chromalight. My channels were just in such bad shape, this was just an "easy" fix since I painted it flat anyway.

Re: Filled drip rail pics
Here’s what I did to mine. After grinding the roof gutter cavity to bare metal and coating with epoxy primer, the lower portion of the rain gutters were filled up with Evercoat Maxim self leveling seam sealer. One huge advantage to this product is that it uses a standard caulking gun. Now instead of water sitting in a trough with no drain, it just flows over the edge preventing future rust damage. These are the best photos I have to offer:

Re: Filled drip rail pics
I guess this one is more shaved than filled....
I was thinking of using some small metal rod around the edge of mine to get a sharper edge, and then more rod in the gutter, and the duraglass method to feather it out.

Re: Filled drip rail pics
I don't remember who it was but another member had a good idea on filling the drip rails. After he cleaned the channels out good, he tack welded a 1/4" round rod in the channel all the way around. This way there was less filler needed and less of a chance of an issue. I don't remember if he used body filler or seam sealer. IMO seam sealer is the way to go. The seam sealer that markeb01 used appears to be holding up well.

Re: Filled drip rail pics
There was another member who cleaned his up, and rolled it over--looked pretty clean!
