Removing the gutters from a panel van

Hey guys,
 
I know its been done.... But I like the look of my gutters, however, they just keep rusting away. The gutters aren't original either they've been tack welded on then i had to remove all the caulk someone used to bog them up...
 
But anyways, whats the general concensus? Good way to eff up the lines on a panelvan??? Even if you do save a lot of hassle with rust etc.

Regards,

Tim

    I have seen a van with the gutters removed. The roof could be removed after it was done. It was never finished.
    Don't remove them, is my advice.
    They do stop the water on the roof falling through the side windows.

    What you think about, you bring about.
