    Can anyone tell me if 36 ford 5 windows had factory drip rails. Have a friend who has a 36 5 wdo that looks like the channels had been filled and painted over. I have told him to grind them out to reveal the drip rail channel, but insists to tell me they never had them and were that way from the factory. I say he is wrong. Also, does anyone make and sell them.

    They are more of a ski jump than a gutter.

    Thanks, then he is correct they do look like you describe as a ski jump and not a gutter. I thought someone had filled them. Were they all made that way? Seems I had seen these cars with gutters on them, but could be mistaken.

    Gutters til 32, ski slopes for 33 to 36, then gutters again.
