Re: moulding

Yes, great question. I would prefer to do this once I finally go to paint, so I really hope you get a detailed answer.

I'd like to fill in all of the trim holes to eliminate one more potential origin of rust, but I would also prefer to keep the trim. I think it is one of the style elements that really define our square bodies, even when it isn't tied with two-tone paint.

How has the weather been up in Surry county lately? Been wanting to make a trip up there for some time.


I'm going to LMC truck and buying the plastic clips for when I install mine.
