<VV> RE: VV ' 63 door handle removal

[Paula Tilsley]

I will be painting my '65 as soon as I get the new engine in it.  My
question is, how do you remove windshield and pillar trim and is it
worth it?

Thanks,

>Personally, I dislike painting around things, and I dislike the masking
lines that are always detectable on cars done this way.  So I'd
recommend
their removal.  It is not difficult; the hardest part is not screwing up
the inner door panel while removing it to get to the inside of the door.
But it is a good opportunity to clean and rustproof the inside of the
door.

I am currently in the midst of painting my third Corvair, and it is the
third Corvair from which I have removed everything prior to painting.
For
the third time I am not looking forward to the re-assembly process,
because
once the paint is on the car I will wish that I was done.  But I know
that
I once it is all back together I will be VERY glad that I did it this
way.
(This is the car that I intend to take to Lexington.  If you see me and
my
Mist Blue '66 coupe, please ooh and ahh so that I will feel the effort
and
expense was worth it.)
