Re: 1956 3100 build
fabbing up some carpet sill plates using stainless angle $54.00 vs $200+ for fancy aluminum ones. once polished should be fine.
drivers side https://i.ibb.co/NTBr5v2/IMG-0090.jpg passenger side https://i.ibb.co/P6X67yz/69099467341...78-F548-A8.jpg might put carpet on smooth side of step and 3M protection film on ribbed bottom as some have suggested.any thoughts? |
Re: 1956 3100 build
Looks good. I like the stainless, a little more durable than polished alum I think.
I think Ogre has used the protection film on the actual step part but then he is 9ft tall so maybe he doesnt use the step lol. Personally I would use it and be kinda afraid of scratching it all up with the sand and gravel etc around here. It is still protecting though, so if it gets dull with some scratches you can peel it off and stick some new stuff on there if you want. |

You'd probably get more answers to your question if you posted a thread of your own. Please do that.

Re: 1956 3100 build
Coming along well! I’m doing the same thing with my tailgate. How did you adhere the emblem? I haven’t thought about it yet.

Re: 1956 3100 build
That tailgate is bad ass! They did an emblem for the Cameo, so obviously GM themselves considers this a more premium option than stamped letters.

Re: 1956 3100 build
BLACK SHEEP on this forum gets the credit for tailgate emblem i messaged him. it is held on with 4 8/32" button head screws.
