Newbie-commisioning new SS trim for an old car
 
Hi all, i would like to commission a local metal fabricator to reproduce
some gutter trim for an old car. Id like the trim to be about an inch and a
quarter wide, polished and then formedto the right shape, which is a little
like a letter 'J'

Am i likely to find some one who could do this? I don't mind purchasing
more than one, to offset tooling costs...they are sought after in plastic,
but stainless would last and look nicer.

I live near Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, England UK if by any chance someone on
here is local to me!

Many thanks!

Steve

it would be expensive but I am sure someone will be willing to do so.
I would check with your local sheetmetal workers or machinist union hall
they should be able to put you in touch with a local shop.

there are shops that specialize in this - for example, GE metal
restoration in Santa Ana - not terribly expensive either, presuming
your car has some value
