Steve: Having just painted my '62, I have gone through much of this. I did not remove all chrome because I was only shooting for a #3 restoration and really didn't want to create more problems by finding rust under the chrome. My car did not originally have wheel well chrome or rocker panel chrome but I opted to find some to put on. The wheel well chrome was not a problem but I have not been able to find the required 3 5/8" rocker panel clips and I have done a lot of searching. We will be improvising as result...will let you know how that works...should be done within the next week or so.

I'm new to the IML and new to my 61 Crown Coupe. In planning and preparation for a future paint job, I have a question that has a great bearing on removing ALL the trim. Are ALL of the clips available that will be needed to replace the trim on my car, if in fact ALL of the trim is removed for painting? I have had painters tell me you can really get yourself in a mess if the clips can't be had. I realize taping off is not the ideal method, but if replacing this huge amount of trim is going to be a major problem, I certainly might consider it. Any help here will be appreciated.
Thanks to all, Steve Texas 61 Crown Coupe
