Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

I went round and round on where the upper molding should go on the fenders. I know where in theory, but what if the front end of the molding needs to be adjusted a quarter or half inch up or down so that it runs straight with the rest of it on the doors and bed? You can't do it because the upper molding stops about 1 inch short and leaves your paint break line showing. On top of that the molding comes to a point and so it is critical that your paint line is exactly in the middle. I just had a bad feeling that on the final assembly my front upper molding might end up running uphill or down. I am going to mount and adjust all the sheet metal and then pull a string to mark where to mount the molding on the fender, drill the holes, tape/plastic the whole truck and shoot the white on just the fenders at the end. I might be over thinking it, but better safe than sorry.
