What is the best way to remove the drip rail moldings? Any tips?

 

A 'church key'. It's the device used to open beer cans before pop top cans were invented.

Where can i find one?

 

They are collectors items in today's world. The primary use is to open a beer can when the pull tab breaks. You may find one in a garage sale, flea market or in the junk drawer of some old guy like Glen (Soaring) or me - no, not mine, theyare all in my 'collectibles' box.
Do you know what one looks like?

No... could you get me a pic? I've never heard of it! is there no other way to take them off?

 

Sure - tomorrow. It's too late for me. I've been up since 5:00 this AM.

till then

 

I'm curious to see what Jim's looks like, but I used one just like the one in the middle ... except I wouldn't let anything Hamm's in my house. [sm=signs006.gif]

I started near the end and didn't pull too hard. Once you get it started, it'll come off real easy. Again, don't pull to hard to get it started!!!

 

There is a link on Mustang Monthly on how to do this. They suggest applying electrical tape to the end and then you use it like normal...ish.

 

I've got a couple of those old things - still in active service, actually. Even now, not all bottles have twist-off caps (and I don't always have the patience to hunt down the channellocks ). Anyway, I think one of them has the name of the university I went to.
