realgone58 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Beautiful mild kustom, very tasteful, great colors. Love it! I've got some to restore as well. I hate trying to get all those glued on custom pieces off. What's the trick? Freezer and alot of sanding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordRodnKustom Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 That looks great,what did you use to get the glued joints apart. I mostly use a small screw driver, exacto knife and round engraving bits in the old Dremel to remove the glued on parts. In this case the rear fender openings were too far gone after I got the skirts off so I had to splice in a set from the current hard top kit.
