Wow…I expected better to honest…

Well...I ripped off the band-aid and tore open the can of worms and started chasing the rust in my 71 Sport Fury 4Dr....question, what's the best way to remove the bottom row of trim between the trunk lid and back window?

And I'm really amazed at just how slapped together the turret is on this body...see pics of the large amount of bog (bondo) used to cover over the deep hole that's the roof to body seam!!!...is this pretty normal for a vinyl top C Body??...first time pealing one of these...

Wow...I expected better to honest...
