I wish I had the skill and patience to do paint and body work that nice. I can handle anything mechanical but when it comes time to paint my T-Bird I will be getting someone experienced to handle it.

How does the quarter window outside trim come off of these cars?

The B-pillar trim needs to be removed then the quarter trim is held on by clips. Be careful with them.
