Re: upper trim long box to short box
Its not that hard but it is time consuming. You will have to file and whittle a wood buck that fits inside your trim piece to perfection. Then cut the trim and put it on a hard surface, supported on the entire length, and dolly the end until the shape is suitable. 1200 grit and a little spray primer to find your highs and lows and tap them out on a piece of flat stock edgewise in a vice. Its cheaper to buy repops if you count your time, but that kind of stuff I like to do. Paitence

Yes, cut it and save the factory end, and backing plate. Splice together and you are done.
