Tips on chrome trim removal.

Recommended Posts

G'day, I'm looking for some advice for removing the exterior chrome trim on a '64 xm falcon. Does anyone have some experience with this or know if the trim along the doors and body were held in place with clips or possibly glued on?

 

I'm looking at stripping the car down so i can get it resprayed and don't want to damage the trim.

Any info would be appreciated

Tom

I'm not 100% sure, i've never worked on one to be honest. Earliest Falcon i've removed body moulds from would be XB, 

 

but I would start by looking on the back of each panel for small nuts, back then i think they secured everything with nuts, bolts and screws, not clips.

 

Even if they used a metal clip along the mould, i think you'll still find a nut on each end like the XB's, maybe similar to these:
