Trim / Mounting Holes....What should I do?
Hey everyone.
I am trying to figure out what I should do with the trim mounting holes in the fenders, doors, cab, and bed. I want to replace the trim on my '67 K20 with factory trim, but should I leave the holes in place and try to work with new factory clips, or should I weld all the holes up and try to use adhesive tape to attach the trim? I was thinking that the holes would be a natural point to let water in. I believe that nowadays cars all use adhesive to attach the trim and molding. Any advice or ideas? My reasoning for welding up the holes in the first place is because when the holes were originally punched in, it made the sheet metal wavy. I was thinking that if I just welded them up, I could skim coat the panel with filler to make it dead level and then just "glue" on the trim pieces.
Thanks, Clay
