Hey Hammer- that's an interesting tip. Do you have any pics of how it came out? How different does it look from the actual original trim?

 

The previous owner used the same trim, so I cannot answer how it compares to the original. You really have to massage it well in the corners to get a nice bend. Make sure you have the stainless steel clip that goes in the top corner to cover the 1 seam. In the other top corner, you may want to split the trim at a 45 degree angle so it fits snugger then rounding it.

Email me and I'll send you a picture. Unfortunately, I don't believe I have enough posts to embed pictures. For the $15 I spent, I think it looks great. This is a driver, not a show car

 

Hey-

What's your e-mail address? Or e-mail me at karkrazy@sbcglobal.net

Also, I do not have the clips, is it going to be a pain to get those? I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that they're pretty pricey as well! This shouldn't be as difficult as it seems!

 

Pulling my 76 out of the barn tomorrow to start the restoration. The parts hunt begins...
