Default Re: '30 Fordor Drip Rails

Thanks Bob and Art. Glad to have the suggestions on mounting the rails. However, I have a question which precedes that step. I've been working on this car for several years and when i took the drip rails off, I removed the nails from the inner sections to facilitate cleaning off some surface rust and priming. While the outer sections can only fit on one side of car (right or left) the inner sections could mount on either side an I cannot remember which way they go (yeah, should have made that note somewhere). In examining them, I am assuming that the rounded edge of the inner section goes to the outside which would mean that the pointy dimples of the predrilled nail holes also go to the outside......or do i have that backwards. I know this is going to make a big difference in mounting the outer section. Also, when i removed these rails, there was a thin layer of "gasket" material under the inner section.....should i replace this and if so, what should be used.
