Shaving drip rails

This should be an interesting topic!! :popcorn:

Personally, I don't care for it. To each their own, but I've never been into it. For whatever reason, I'm ok with it on old "Hot Rods" and "Street Rods", but I'm just not into it on "Muscle cars". I like the TV show Bitchin Rides, but I don't like how they always shave off the door handles and put their flush mount handles in them. If you do them on every car you do,... how unique is it anymore.

Like I said,.... To each their own, but one of the things I like about our old cars is the different styling cues that just don't exist anymore, and protruding door handles, drip rails, chrome emblems, etc,.... are all examples of those individual styling cues you don't see on modern cars. If you are into having no trim, no emblems, and everything flush,... pretty much any modern car will give you those things.

I don't disagree in general>
I think each application/car/build is different- or should be.
I'm not the cookie cutter type either.
This car as significant rust in drivers side drip rails and up into roof edge, so i have to cut some out, make some patch panel pieces anyway.
Shaving in this case would allow me to de-rust more of the area, make sure i kill as much as humanly possible.

Not sure yet what to do with window trim/seal etc though.

Thanks
