Re: LMC Core support filler panel
It comes with a length of edging, you just have to cut and fit it.

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
If somebody starts making these out of bent flat steel or aluminum stock, just "hem" (fold over & flatten) the raw edge over about 3/8 - 1/2". Very typical (& easy & fast to do) sheet metal shop manuever. Stiffens the piece nicely to keep the usual buckling out of it, & stops figer cuts from an exposed raw metal edge. No need for a rubber tube edging add-on.
Back about 20 years ago when I had a siding business & a big shop sheet metal brake, & a rolling wheel shear, I think I bent about a thousand miles or more of painted aluminum trimwork for houses (8 ft at a time), & we ALWAYS hemmed any exposed raw metal edge. Once you have a pattern made up for these & a source of painted metal, these ought to actually cost about $ 10 - 15 a set. My shear & brake's gone, but for a hundred dollars a set, I think I'd go buy another brake & make these all day, every day. Not offering to do this as a business, but I'm just saying: this ain't rocket science. Last edited by 68shortstep; 01-19-2012 at 11:41 AM. Reason: correct spelling |

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
there actually is no need for the edging. They are not made with a sharp edge like thin sheetmetal on gutters. You can push your finger on it and slide it up and down . you won't be cut. You won't make these for 10 to 15.00 each
We have a full shop. We can't do it for that. hahaha. I think they fit fine for what purpose they serve. If you were building a 100% One of a kind show truck you would probably not be using these. I think they look great. I made a pair that we thinking about mfg. I f anyone is interested I will sell the pair. I made them out of polished aluminum. We opted out on mfg these.

I think I would be more inclined to make it come in under these items so the termination was out of sight wherever possible. It would keep the edges from getting snagged & bent over when working on them too.

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
I have been looking for these for a while but could not find them, Great to finally know what they are called.
Does anybody know where I can get the complementary valance that covers the radiator?

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
These are copies of the we made. Were going to produce these with a few changes but decided not to.
There is a fella here in houston, another board member. He has first dibs on them. He pm'd me this morning. If he does not want them they are up for grabs |

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
fyi...the panels that are sold by LMC, Ecklers, Undercover Innovations, etc...the passenger side panel won't direct bolt if you have factory air, or the A/C dryer mounted in the stock position.

Re: LMC Core support filler panel
Kinda like those Classic Truck ones with the script on em. Anyone have pics of those installed? I must admit that whatever brand they might be.....they look a ton better when they have em as opposed to not.
