Added the body side trim to the square body pickup , , , [PICS]
Looking good. What size square rod did you use to make the chrome trim? *NM*
Nice, are they two separate rods, or did you score a groove down the middle? *NM*
The trim is 2 strips of Evergreen .010"X.020" laid side by side. , , I'd have liked slightly smaller for the inside strips but it's the smallest they make. *NM*
That looks great!!! *NM*
X2!!!! *NM*
Awesome ! It looks great. Did you have to heat the strips to make the tight 90 degree bends on the front fenders ? *NM*
No, just went for it. They did break a couple times but I just pieced them back together. *NM*
Next time, brush on some liquid cement in the bend area a couple of minutes prior to bending them. Not too much, you don't want to soften up the plastic. I've done that for drip rails *NM*
Did that, still broke. I figure the bends were too tight for it to work with the strips I have. *NM*
Looks realistic! *NM*
Great work...have you seen the Feb 2025 Collectible Automobile, has a feature on the 1973 Chev/GMC pickups. *NM*
Haven't seen it Andy. I don't get to the magazine shops as often as I once did. *NM*
