I would never have guessed what any of those tools were used for.  Are we talking about the channels that ran parallel to the roof line on the outer edges that followed the contour of the doors?  Like little rain gutters?  I had a 1967 Camaro that I believe incorporated that feature into its design and I specifically recall them being present on a 1978 Camaro that I had for a few years.  I clearly recall those "gutters" on my '78 because when I drove with the side window down, I rested my left elbow on the door and sort of grabbed onto that gutter with my left index and middle fingers.  I'm sure I looked really cool.....   :cool:   That's a nice collection of specialty auto body tools.  Do you collect old body tools?

Who me? collect stuff?  hehehe
I think my signature line is a link to my shop page on FB, I'll change it to the albums, it's public so you don't need to be on fb. rough guess there is a thousand plus pics of stuff, tools & projects. It's somewhat sorted, about as organized as I'll ever get!
