I bought a set of fiberglass rocker covers, black, glossy - perfect.
One of the last things to go on the car - I tried to resurrect the originals but they were too far gone, sand and grind and there was nothing left! I go to put them on and the top part that is supposed to sit on the bottom of the door frame was too short - did not cover the holes to mount them. Took a closer look and the lip on the top of these covers was curled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Spent the night trying to straighten them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Buyer beware - some assembly required! 20 minute job has taken 4 hours. Still not done! CTC911CTC |

Project going well - the JB weld holds, is solid and perhaps stronger than the straightened glass which bent pretty easy with heat and then with my expert calibration equipment (see above) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) stayed at the required angle.
More progress today. |
