    I did a 65 elky several years back.. As I recall that top trim is retained by some goofy hook type things that make it easy to install but it's a bear to take off.They snap over the pinch weld and hook into the molding.The key word is "patience" if you want to re use them..I would start at one end and gradually work inside and outside..If you start at the back you might be able to slide it off once you get a couple of them loose..A lubricant might help but that could play havoc with your paint stuff later on...Hope some of this helps.. I used a hook tool a lot and you might be able to use one of those "wiggler" things made for windshield moldings

    I remember when hot rods were all home made.
