I have already welded up the trim holes on my 68 fenders. Just wondering what your plans are.
Thanks, your right if I rush it I'm bound to mess it up and then I won't be happy with the final product. I plan on running the front trim and having the paint line under the trim so it covers it. That's how my truck was originally.

I'm sure you'll be happier with the end result knowing you did the best you can, without rushing it.
Yeah having the deadline was driving me nuts, like you said the added pressure to get it done within a given amount of time was mentally exhausting. I'm going on my 6th year and it's still not done so I decided to throw deadlines out the window. I'll be happy when it's finally done but only if it's done right and is exactly how I want it.
