You cannot remove the side aluminum strips on a 77 very easily as they are a structural welded and bonded part of the side behind the smc cock pit and ahead of the smc end cap.

Hello,

"Later versions (77 -78) had slots on the top and bottom of the extrusion that the aluminum sheet and fiberglass panels would slip into. I GUESS that the panels were glued in and didn't need pop rivets."

How would that affect taking the alum strips off on a 77 ???.
Are they screwed on, or glued ???. After finding out some are different then, don't want no surprises, when i reseal behind those.

cheers and beers
