88 turbo swap: Shaving the molding away
So I never have liked the molding on the side of the car, I ripped it off today and started to fill it with dura glass and going to use fiber glass with top coat for the final finish. I think the molding is a eye swore and I think it will look good and clean when done. Still have a little bit of sanding left and then glass and top coat it, probably will be done tomorrow

I think your car looks awesome man, and this isn't my first first time doing body work, I should of welded it but my welder is broken, and I have used this stuff before and it works really good, I spent a lot of time on the prep.

the issue will be expansion and contraction, out in the sun will be the worse place for your car to be, it will be a battle against time for your bodywork not to crack along the edge.
I refused to do this for someone years ago based on this reason, he had someone else do it and just 2 years later all the moldings had already started to crack and come back.
the darker the paint, the more time out in the sun- the worst this will be.
good luck with your project, to each their own but im sorry man but in most people's eyes the car has been ruined.
