Bending metal top mouldings threads
I recall seeing a couple threads a while back that discussed ways of bending the rear curve in metal top mouldings without kinking them. I have searched this site's archives using all kinds of key words, but have been unable to find these threads. I am attempting to bend the 5/8" R1/F6 mouldings for a 155-A Murray Town Sedan and don't want to screw it up - or take the Hidem welt path. Does anyone know where these older threads are or can suggest proven ways of bending this curve, preferably with photos?
Thanks in advance. Marshall |

Re: Bending metal top mouldings threads

I wrote that article. See the following for bending advice: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36387 https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=311011 Please do not use heat on the aluminum top moldings in an attempt to soften them. They come as an O or F temper and heat will "age harden" them. |
