Upper moldings used to make frames
Had some bent & dinged up moldings that I used to make some frames for a couple of my truck advertisements. I used the undamaged areas cut at 45 degrees with some sheet metal "L" corners to hold them together.

Re: Upper moldings used to make frames
That looks really cool. Any pics of the back side on how you put them together?

Re: Upper moldings used to make frames
Used "L" brackets to hold the corners together (used a nail set to dimple the back of the moldings for a friction fit). Also used a little glue to keep them in place. Cut some 1\4 inch plywood to fit inside the back of the moldings & glued it to the corner brackets with poly adhesive. Added glass,pic, cardboard & retainers. Can't upload pics of back right now- will try later

Re: Upper moldings used to make frames
Outstanding idea! I'm getting a rendition of my truck done for some motivation to keep grinding on it. This would be the perfect way to frame it up in the shop!

Re: Upper moldings used to make frames
Just used a miter saw- aluminum isn't much harder than oak
