Bill, I found a variety of fiber pry tools at Harbor Freight. They flex a little, but are quite strong. You might wish to file the edge for easier sliding under the trim. Another, yet wider, fiber blade used for drywall refinishing could be a good choice too. I would slightly "round off" the corners of any blade to help eliminate any chance of marring of the cars finish.
Hope this helps. Terry

I will check Harbor Freight in the AM. Do you know if the trim just pops off with using the tools or is there some secret ?
Thank you,

I do not know for certain. I have a reprint of the Hudson Body Service Manual, but can't discern the procedure well enough to give guidance. Perhaps body shop and/or paint specialists might come to your rescue. I'll look to see if online videos exist. Terry

Under the Search heading, type Hornet stainless removal. It looks helpful and has good advice as well. Also I just discovered a video, via Google, called Sam's Garage "Hudson Hornet Project." I'll watch it too.

More precisely "Project Hudson Hornet."

Terry,
If you are still interested in the trim removal, I received a tip from a person who has removed the trim with a Red Devil paint scraper. The scraper blade will slip under the trim. The back side of the scraper holding the blade is rounded and acts as a fulcrum when the handle is pushed down lifting the trim. Seems to work very well without using screwdrivers and other pry bar tools.

Bill,
I appreciate you lending this tip and your experienced
craftmanship. I was responding to an earlier question and lending my best advice. Hopefully, he'll get his repair done flawlessly.
