Re: PO has me PO'd

That seems to work but I will try to get better drive heads as the hex drive seems to be a little big maybe a pan head since these sealing washers come off

Re: PO has me PO'd

The heads of the screws are to large for trim to sit flush, I'll have to get flater ones

But the trim does fit correctly on the arch

Re: PO has me PO'd

I may have to rethink this, as it takes quite the amount of pressure to close this gap at the top of repair panel

Re: PO has me PO'd

Hey Jim, How are you planning to fasten the patch piece to the side panel? I used the step tool and panel adhesive on my doors, no warping from welding.

Re: PO has me PO'd

These

17076560313453264749361969690280 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06

2-56 smallest ones i think I can work with...

I was going to flange and body adhesive, but 2 things popped up, there's a slight curve in the 1/4 panel and not sure if it would warp the panel

Plus the cost of the applicanter gun was 100.00

Thanks for stopping by, your truck is looking amazing, nice work,impressive work on the vent window, mine are still in 3 pieces

Re: PO has me PO'd

OE trim seems to fit wheel arch pretty well

Clamp in place, see if it will bend to contour

Finally found the right tool to cut an arc in the sheet metal precisely

Re: PO has me PO'd

Reinstalled the American billet bezels flipped them backwards to see how they fit

Marquez did not fit have to machine about 50 thousand off, plus American billet was 1/3 the price

17100806058911256202817264063047 by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/97391199@N06

Just to chunky to install as designed, I'll see if I can install the rectangular trim
