Today was a busy day trying to get items completed on the truck. Started off with working on getting all trim mounted on the fender and bedside. Had to modify the actual plastic clips I bought from Classic Parts. There clips were to long and actually bowed a little in the middle. I tried all different ways to make it work and it just was not happening. With the bow in the plastic clip and the very thick 3M adhesive tape it made the trim stand out to far. The solution was to cut the clips in half and strip off the 3M adhesive strip and replace with a 3M
60lbs outdoor double stick tape. It was a pain in the ass but it worked.
