Has anyone come up with a solution to repair or replace roof edge drip rail? My 1954 Fairlane is in need of some help in this area. Thanks, Ron in San Diego
It has been awhile since my last visit here and I am very pleased with improvements at this site. While working on my 1955 Fairlane with the bad flex-plate some time back I was visiting here almost daily and wouldn't have been able to finish that up without the help and support I received here.

Ron good to see you back, not a lot of body men on here, I think you might get more help on a forum like ford barn or metal meet. With out seeing the car or at least good close up pictures, it is hard to give advice on repairing. I have replaced sections of drip rail on pickup cabs by cutting a repair piece from a junk cab. If it is not completely gone epoxy might do the trick after cleaning and treating the rusted area. You might find some good advice over on the HAMB.

Was just told by someone at Ford Barn forum to use steel gas line cut in half. I like this idea and hope to give it a shot.

Never would have thought of that, but it just might work.

Snyder's Antique Auto Parts in Ohio lists rain gutters for Model As in their catalog, come in 90" lengths. Maybe they could be used as repair pieces.

See the one Snyder has but sort of pricey at $100. I found this link on '54 Ford Club of America...http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=146469&highlight=simple+fix+for+stupid+mistake
