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 |

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 bill www.wbnoble.com On Wed, 22 Feb 2006 09:19:08 -0000, "R.P.McMurphy" wrote: Hi all, i would like to commission a local metal fabricator to reproduce some gutter trim for an old car.
