Default Rain Gutters / Drip Rails 1976 Camaro

These were shaved off by the prior owner. Any suggestions on the easiest way to fabricate some new ones? The car is primed and ready for paint, but it just doesn't look right with these. Derek

Are you sure they were shaved off? Most didn't have them when they were new. Mine doesn't.
Drip rails were an option, and simply bolted into the car under the door weatherstripping. They were chrome and here's a link to how they install:

LOL Yup, just find a set and screw them on. The holes are slotted under weather stripping. They take a small self tapping screw.

Default Where can I get these?

I haven't had any luck on EBay, Ricks and a number of other searches and inquiries.

FbodyWarehouse :: 1978 - 1981 Camaro

These guys might have them. They aren't shown on there site so give them a call. They are basically a 2nd gen junk yard. They are a bit expensive sometimes but they always have free shipping. like I said call and speak to them personally, they usually have everything.

I have a set,they are not in perfect shape though,there are some scratches and scrapes on them.With some sanding and polishing they would look nice,or they could be painted or powdercoated.If interested send me a pm and i'll get a picture then if interested just throw me an offer.
