tell me about it dude, tell me about it....

Cynthar: the front part of the trim has some screws in it under the weatherstripping, and the back piece you needa take the top torx seatbelt bolt out, and take the plastic interior panel out and theres a few 11mm bolts in there that needa be removed before the back piece can come off...

Nice!

This thread is great! I am planning on going through this same process towards the end of this summer with my car. Was it a real PITA to get the molding above the windows off and the rear molding above the quarter panels? Keep up the good work dude.

took about 15 minutes to take those panels out....you needa remove the panel in the interior that looks the same as the panel on the outside, and take out some screws along the underside of the weatherstripping too...

a few months after i got my car back from the frame shop with new (used) front clip, i broke a balljoint pulling into my driveway....when AAA came at GOD DAMN 2AM, they sent out the stupidest ******* ever, and he dropped my whole car off the jack onto the tire....this bent the drivers fender like 3" outta position, and very difficult to fix....so i got a new one from an ebay store, and even though we needed to fill in a few dings, its better than what was on there....

69Clark: YOU THINK YOUR WAITING AROUND?!?!?!:rlaugh: I've been waiting over a year to have this car painted, and now the redfire dream is becoming a reality!!! I really wanna thank Jay and his bro Bryan for hookin me up, and doing a great job thus far. Jay said he'd post some progress pics today when they prime, and then shoot the color:banana: :banana: :banana:

gonna be a little tricky to get color/clear all the way around the handle.....

im just trying to give you a little tip that will make it turn out just a little better. since you already have the trim panel off for the belt moulding and mirror, it will only take about 10 minutes to remove the handle and lock cylinders. the handle is held in with 11mm bolts, and the lock just clips in place.

its the small details that help the job turn out that much better. you went through all the trouble of removing the bumpers and other trim, why not go a little further? :shrug:

either way, good luck!! :cheers:
