RE: trim removal help

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if your 64 is the same as my 63 but there are splash panels 
front (as already mentioned) and rear.  Held on by a few bolts.  I don't 
think I broke any bolts taking mine off.  This gives you access to all 
the fasteners.  I was glad I took mine off especially the front.  There 
was about 2" of fine dirt built up behind it.  And some rust to repair 
as a consequence.  As for the trim on the sail panel my emblems were 
held on by tubular speed nuts.  Very hard to find.  I had to go to an 
old time body guy locally who had a big stash of old clips.  Joe suchy 
might have them also.  The best way to get them off would be by removing 
the headliner.  The rest you refer to are held on by clips.
