Topic: Drip Rail Molding - Coupe vs Fastback

[mtinkham]

I am test fitting the drip rail molding on a 67 coupe and comparing it to the drip rail molding on my fastback.  They are both Metuchen cars built a few months apart.  The cross-section of the fastback drip rail molding is a curve, while the coupe molding cross-section is not curved but made of a couple of flats....I can post pictures if this does not make sense...

Were the drip rail molding cross-sections different between the two body styles - aside from the shape around the window?

Thank you for your input.

I would imagine a curved profile would be easier to get a tight radius around the window. A flat profile would be much harder to bend into shape. Not 100% sure on the profiles, but that mskes sence from an engineering point of view
