« on: December 08, 2014, 11:06:17 PM »
Hi I'm from Hudson Bay Sask,and see some familiar names from other sites,so for the guys that haven't seen my build it is a 1930 Chev Coach,350/350 combo,68 Firebird rear end,1953 chev truck front axle with a speedway disc conversion,speedway 4-bar with coilovers.I'm trying to keep the rest of the car stock.TFoch suggested this site awhile ago just took my time to join as I haven't worked on the car for awhile but am starting again,so will have a lot of questions.I will try to post a few pictures along with one of my first problems the trim or proper name for it that finishes the seam between upper lower body panels.Picture attached.Thanks for your help and suggestions in advance.

Welcome! That looks like a great project. Hudson Bay? I won't complain about the cold anymore. ;D

Welcome aboard Chemong55! That's a nice solid looking project you have there. Don't knoe about that trim, though. If that's a seperate piece you are looking for it might be pretty hard to find. You might try the Vintage Chevy site.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Nice looking project, and welcome to the site. The trim you are looking for as you know will be a hard one to find. Good luck with your search.

Chemong55,

I like the looks of the full hood, but I never could get mine fitting to satisfy me.  I always had to much gap at the bottom edge where it latched.  Can you show me a picture of yours?

Welcome from Kansas, looks like really nice body. We use to get quite a few Saskatchewan custom wheat harvesters down my way. Great group of guys here on the site.

On most of the early chevys I have built, that seam filler piece is made out of aluminum?

Thanks for the replies,got lucky yesterday was cleaning up shed and found the trim pieces.They are made of aluminum and was wondering if I unbend the nail cover strip what are the chances of the cover piece breaking at the bend,tried a corner and seems to be fairly stiff however to get the nails out and to reattach it appears you have to open up the fold over nail cover.Any suggestions to reinstall kindly accepted.
