Default Re: Truck based woody

One of the guys came back the next day and we made some hand formed copper corners as there was no way the aluminum J metal would go around that compound corner. I sawed them out of heavy sheet stock in a sort of boomerang shape and Tim tapped them into shape with a dome headed hammer on a soft cedar block. They will be painted black. I still need to make and add the strip at the windshield and between the rear corners before final trimming of the rubber.
