Re: 1956 3100 build
Looks good. I like the stainless, a little more durable than polished alum I think.
I think Ogre has used the protection film on the actual step part but then he is 9ft tall so maybe he doesnt use the step lol. Personally I would use it and be kinda afraid of scratching it all up with the sand and gravel etc around here. It is still protecting though, so if it gets dull with some scratches you can peel it off and stick some new stuff on there if you want. |

You'd probably get more answers to your question if you posted a thread of your own. Please do that.

Re: 1956 3100 build
Coming along well! I’m doing the same thing with my tailgate. How did you adhere the emblem? I haven’t thought about it yet.

Re: 1956 3100 build
That tailgate is bad ass! They did an emblem for the Cameo, so obviously GM themselves considers this a more premium option than stamped letters.
