Shaved Gutters

[baker12]

Anyone shaved their gutters off, I am considering this.
any posts or "i have done this" would be great to see what it looks like.

car might leak I don't think it would look that flash, and it is also where the roof is spot welded to the lower frame

Bit different though?
I checked out the spot welds and think I could overcome that issue with some seam welding.
After all the work I have put in there is no way this FB is going to sit in the rain, where and how would it leak?
if I have all new rubbers there should be no leaks through the doors even if there is some rain whilst driving, I am seriously considering this option, smoothed customs if you are out there give me your opinion.
On another topic anyone got a smiths heater for sale mine was full of old cigerette butts and 5 cents pieces.

Never seen the drip rails shaved on an FB/EK, but have seen it done on a mini. Looked cleaner, but somehow "awkward" - it caught your eye as it didn't look "right".

I have the gutters shaved on mine and I think Chopped has his done as well ,both Utes though, far bit of work , you will have to re weld the full length .

This model has a very tall roof section that removing the gutters will visually extend - do the photoshop version first dude .
Are you talking sedan ? Ill have a go later when Im in from the shed

yep they look a bit strange with them off, i've done it not on a sedan and i did have a bit of a leaking issue and also you could NOT crack yor window open a little in the rain

Thats what I love ,Hard and fast facts based on experience and know how

Personally, i think it could make the roof look higher - i think it would work better on a chopped sedan, or a 2 door.
The right colour will probably help as well.
This might help you get a better picture of how it would look, based on your fb in flat black

You are right it would definatley make it look higher, I have come to the conclusion that the more you do the more you can F#$K up, so I will be reatining everything except the chrome flash surround and the special lettering.
I will have to update MI60FB page, its now back to bare metal again!!! I am waiting on paint.
