51BuickWoody Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I have quite a few rusted out spots on the drip rail around my '51 Buick roof. I can't for the life if me find where to buy or how to manufacture drip rail. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f.f.jones Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Don't laugh. The guy who builds custom hearses is supposed to be a "car guy" and installs drip rail in all his builds. Maybe he can direct you to his supplier. Can't hurt to ask... https://www.rosewoodclassiccoach.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Morris minor travellers (woodies), 1950's Riley, Rolls Royce and other british makes, use an aluminum drip rail. You nail thru them into the wood and then fold it over to cover the nail heads. You can get them by the length from most Morris minor parts suppliers in UK, but I'm sure if you tried looking for english car part suppliers in USA, they will probably stock them.

Speedway has some for 32 Fords and a few places have it for 67-72 Chev/GMC pick ups (Dynacorn is one) that you might be able to adapt it or this thread of The HAMB to fabricate it might help https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/drip-rail-fabrication.300956/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
