Autoparts store in the grease section and get some "Superlube" clear synthetic grease and rub some on the drip rail before you start , makes it 10 times easier and repels water to minimize rust from any scratches you might make .
Yes. It will act as a good rust preventative too. The big thing though is save yourself a lot of pain and simply don't layer the paint on the rail. Never. Very thin on the paint plus grease=way less pain and a good fit!
I got tired of the popular supply houses and decided to give Kentucky Mustang a shot. I placed a large suspension order. Most items were in stock but some were not. I received the bulk of it very quickly and the back ordered items came in several shipments shortly after. All items are a great quality and I am very happy so far. Jade is looking amazing.
I'm nervous now thinking about when I get around to putting my drip rails back on. I didn't realize it was such a tedious job. Thank you for show how it's done.
I’ve said it before but thank you for these videos - I’m almost at the exact same stage as you and have run into nearly the identical challenges you have - these videos have been really helpful putting “Regrets” back together
Daniel Carpenter is the son of Dennis Carpenter, Dennis specialized in parts for for trucks and broncos his son started specializing in parts for mustangs. You can get replacement wiper blades at oriellys that look just like the originals with the stainless backing. It is handy when you use your car as a driver or on the road with it and need replacements. Also you can use those for regular use and the nicer ones for shows. Jade looks really good, I have a 68 Sea Foam Green coupe that I have owned since 89, she is a driver not as redone as Jade but she could hold her own. Keep up the nice work I just found your channel I have some videos to catch up on.
Back around 1973 I remember seeing in an auto magazine a story of how a $4000 Chevelle would cost $22,000 if you built it from individual parts over the parts counter. I believe that was for parts only, not labor. I'm curious what the final tally will be for Jade.
I saw a 1960 chevy wagon at a car show , the owner was mad that nobody looks at it. He said “it has 25k hours in it” , and i was thinking if an hour is worth say $30 , thats the shiniest turd I’ve ever seen
The main reason is too much paint buildup on the rail. Multiple coats applied on vehicles during restore compared to just a few, when they were first made
It would be interesting to go back in time and seeing the factory guys putting on the drip rail moldings as the cars roll down the line!
I havent found a more detailed guy in the whole UA-cam thank you sir

Drip rails are evil. Good work!
Man I was tense watching you install the rail moulding and can only image the stress you were feeling. Good job!!

1965 to 1970 mustangs are a good return on your money, fastbacks are GREAT

Awesome video. Thank you
I’ve ordered many times from Kentucky Mustang they have been great. Let you know up front what’s on backorder.
Great vid. Would it make sense to test fit the trim after the primer to help open the channel?
Wouldn’t hurt.
Great

Berry do you know of a tool to help remove and install these parts
I have a removal video as well.
Hi Sammy - the old church key style of can opener works really well for safely removing the drip rail molding - putting them back on though uggg 🙄
Videos on the Triumph? bike please 😂😂
What is the color - can you give paint information (bought from - color code) Thanks Rick
