Default Removing shaved side moldings

The guy I bought my car from had to shave the side moldings. I dont really know how to go about removing it, but I dont want 2 *** nothing up...

so I was thinking of maybe using a dremel to get at it. I've never worked with bondo before so i dont know how hard it is to remove. Do you think my idea of using a dremel and just going at it for a long time would work?

anyone got any creative ideas?

i dunno dude, i'm running into the same problem...DAMN my ricer days!! .....i don't think a dremel will ever get it to look stock, unless you've got some amazing dremel hands, haha.....what i'm going is just getting new fenders and door shells, and welding in new quarter panels aswell. but i'm also open to other suggestions if folks have em

i'm in the process of removing mine right now. so far i've unmolded my sideskirts. that was easy, all i did was use a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to crack the bondo and just sanded the **** out of it till it was all off. and as far as the modings go, i'm using a small dremal to slowly grind that **** off. well for me it's coming off in big chunks so it's pretty easy.
