Projects shaving/ molding in stainless trim

What's the best way to do it? My wife has a 61 galaxie that she wants to shave the molding off the rear quarters and the fins. The lower is easy enough to just take off and shave but what about the trim on the fins? Do I start from scratch and make basically a steel version of the trim to then weld on or is there a better way

 

new wife ? just messin ,but good for a bump....

 

Lmao. ...you are the second person to suggest that....but I'm ugly and she is a looker so I gotta keep her....

 

Bend up some metal in the shape of that trim and fire up the welder.....oh and I would be willing to take that trim off your hands

 

Give me a few weeks and it's yours.....The drivers side rear is a little chewed up tho

 

I would bend a strip of mild steel to weld on in it's place (or even two flat strips, although that'd make an extra seam at the top to weld up.)

 

Why not just silver solder the trim to the car?....

 

I was wondering about that, didn't know if it would crack over time or not tho

 

Whatever you decide to attach instead of the trim, you're going to have a lot of heat going along the whole peak. me, I'd keep the trim. You can paint it the body color so it blends in better.

I went to great length$ to get nice looking trim pieces for my Ford. Figure I have about $700 into it plus another $140 in trim clips. We're in the straightening/polishing mode right now.

 

Yea, problem is she doesn't want any seams....she say a Cadillac that someone had done the same way and it was over from there

The SS-6 is a lot stronger than regular solder.... Watch the videos.

 

That stuff is awesome! Crazy Steve I think you answered my question thanks!

 

glue is for people who do not know how to weld.

 

Nobody said anything about glue

 

Yeah, quit sniffin' it and stay on topic!
