Door Moldings

[trailshredder]

Has anyone ever taken the door moldings off the doors? I need to re-paint mine and curious before I dig into it.

Yeah, you need to weld shut the holes for the moldings.

it looks much better though

So are there dowels and nuts that hold the molding on or double sided tape?

 

[Bio248]

its double sided tape with some dowels molded into the molding so that they are easy to line up. you can rip them off, but there will be holes underneath them that youll have to fill. i would not suggest using bondo to fill them and i would suggest welding them shut.

The car of the week over at PFYC.com has the door molding shaved off

i like my mouldings being there, saved my doors a many time

Just doesnt look right in red. Namely because there is no body line there and it looks naked.

See how it has the line in the door? Thats what I'm talking about. Hate that bumper though, 85+ had the better one.
