Body trim removal

Anybody have any really neat (and easy) methods to remove the fender trim for a 69 Cutlass? It is going to be a pain to have to remove every spring clip from the body!

I know I will have to replace all of them anyway, but am putting it off for a while while I do body repairs.

Thanks in advance.

The best way to take off that trim is to remove the fender. I did it with the fender on the car by removing the bolts that hold the inner fender to the wheel opening but practically cut my arm in half reaching in there to remove the two speed nuts that I couldn't get to from anywhere else.
