The Sharpie is now all gone...

The list was done by my friend who is doing the body work/ paint. And no pics will be put up of 12/23

Quick DAing to get original primer off and see what was lurking beneath.

How did you get the trim pieces off that go down the A pillar? Those chrome strips that are on between the a pillar and the door, but attached to the a pillar. How exactly do you remove them? Thanks.

They are held on by screws and possibly glued in place.

Fist you have to take the door seal molding. The screws are behind the seal. You do not have to remove the seal to get them.

Then you can remove the screws that hold on the a pillar chrome trim
