'64 fleet side drip rail?

[jtm]

Definitley buying the '64. 350 with 3 speed manual on the floor. Do not have all the details yet and finalizing the deal tomorrow hopefully. The guy I am buying from works for a friend of mine at the South Austin Speed Shop, so I at least know where to find him if something is screwed up...actually, he is a good guy and is going to help me put power steering and disc brakes in front...

has anyone ever cut the drip rail off the top of one of these? there is of course rust running around the top....want to cut it off and smooth it out...
