I usually just leave 15% on the table, but your way just seems like more fun!

Talking

jhow66,

Good idea on extending the aftermarket clips. We have been cleaning up original clips to avoid the problem of the repops but they are getting harder to find, (good ones).

No Alex...I thought it was me...LOL! Great tip by the way!

I have shaved so many trucks that I have never even considered putting trim on one. Now I am faced with doing just that to my PURE STOCK Longhorn restoration. The killer is that I gave away a complete set of good trim off a '67 CST after I shaved the truck...OUCH!
