Rain Gutters 31' Coupe
 

When I restored my coupe the rain gutter were quite rusted. Since I could not get them off I used bondo and sanded the smooth

Here twenty years later the rust has come back and I would like to take them completely off this time

Are there screws holding them on, or are that tack welded on.

Spot welded. You really need to get to the back side….or at least that’s the way I work them

Eventually, that is a task I am going to have to tackle, as mine were missing when I restored my coupe. I used aluminium extrusions, attached with small screws, that were countersunk, then filled over with bog. After many years some of the filler is starting to pop. When I replace them it will be with something more authentic.

Just spotted these on ebay. They look better than anything else I have seen. https://www.ebay.com/itm/23670235101...Bk9SR8rR-fe6Zw

I’m agreed they do look good! And steel not aluminum
Priced well! Worth a risk to look see at that price.
I might buy couple of pair for stock. Parts go away really quickly these days

Whoa! Only two sets available! Jump!

So on the 31' Coupe, should I grind the rain gutters off and start from scratch
