Well I got the first one hung up today. The 81-87, I'm going to get a new emblem for it. I broke all the studs off and all the black paint had worn off. So as soon as I get that one put back together, it will hang right below the other band.
Very nice job! What do you use of polishing to the tailgate band? I try to polish our own tailgate band but it won´t let shining!!! I don´t know why because other parts coming nicely shining. I use Autosol metal polish and felt wheels. Thanks Ilkka
