Hello Member,
What is the best method to install new fender welt on a conplete restoration? Should I notch the welt at the bolts or drill holes in the welt at each bolt? How should I install welt without crimping or mis-aligning?
Thanks for your help,
W. Wms.

Thanks for the information. It is just what I needed. You cannot imagine how lost I was.
One note the article deals with the vinyl trim not sure about your car but I know the late 40's Plymouths used a stainless welting that is harder to work with and not very forgiving if you make a mistake.
39 did not use the metal/chrome fender welt....
