Still working on it, although not as much lately! Anything is possible, sometimes you have to get it done.

I would be afraid the chrome would crack on a brand new bumper???

I found a better video showing how he installed the trim. Starting at 8:25

How do I get this piece on? This is not even close to going on! Do I need to trim the drip rail? quarters and drip rail have been replaced

I used this https://www.palmettoenterprisesparkerizing.com/ Here is a video

1 7/16 I dont have the lower hole

I'll let you know what I get

Wow that is awesome, thanks for sharing

Hey it's been like 12 years on my project and I'm still at it, not ready to give up!

Watching with interest :popcorn:

Does anyone have any links or videos showing how this is done?

So because I have NO experience and I have replaced or removed EVERYTHING, I'm thinking I should put the door glass and quarter glass in and test the fitment, just to put my mind at ease. Might as well install the belt molding while I'm at it. I will also have to have the latches and strikers...

When doing final door gaps should the latches and strikers be on? should the weather stripping be installed? Does it make a difference? should I have the door glass in? What about when I am doing final bodywork? (filler) I assume you remove the glass, if so because of the weight of the glass...

Could it originally been seam sealer from the factory?

I know it is used in place of lead joints. Roof to quarter seam, quarter to rocker seam, and a-pillar to cowl seam. It has aluminum added to give it more strength. It does not hold moisture like normal filler. Not applicable for me but it can be powder coated.
