Technical Bending drip rail

Great work and very useful tip. Taking some of the learning curve out of these common issues that are encountered in a build reduce cost and build time significantly. Love it

 

Thank you. I like to see somebody else do it before I start experimenting. LOL

A guy on one of the hot rod TV shows bent a piece of stainless trim 90° the hard way with a torch and his muscles. He said it might tear the far side, but it didn't.

 

this is great, thanks for the tip!

 

Another alternative sans heat would be to bend it in a diAcro or similar bender. I used an old tractor gear as an inner shoe to bend around, when I made a mounting flange for a champ car dash.

 

Old thread, but it has the info I was looking for, Thanks! Bob

 

Great information and we use a DiArco for bending our metals

 

Bttt

 

Could a guy use the new epoxy glues that they use to install body panels to glue these onto the body ?

Seems it would be easier to glue it on and getting it to make a water tight seal at the same time.

I've thought about this as I don't want to run a cloth top....

I'm not familiar with the new epoxy glues. Really can't give you a good answer. Maybe other people will have a better answer for you.
Good luck

 

Yes, would likely work very well with the correct product.

 

I am needing a passenger side for a PB coupe also

 

Btt
