Well trim
Thanks Kurt.
It is a gt, but I think he may have used 270 quarters to patch it. And, I don't think the patch panels were set just right when welded because the trim doesn't see to fit as snug as it should do he is humoring it. I guess I'll go see convertible top guy and get strips of material that lies under it. My concern is, if the material sits only under the top edge of the trim, it won't sit right coming around the corner. I'm going to print this and give it to body guy. Man there's a lot if brite work on this car !
Thanks again!
Jim. it doesn't just sit under the top edge it's help in by the bottom pieces, AKA tack strips (not really tack strips in this case like some cars have and ours do in the rear bow.) AND glue for the well liner.
it get's glued on the edge under the tack strips and on the flats of the wheel wells. that way it stays in a decent shape and doesn't get all crumpled and wore.
on the inside of the well there are 3 (on mine anyway ) holes that are the NOT convertible header pieces in the picture (bottom 2 flat pieces that go after the well is on and then it's put on as a piece that holds the well in position

here's how I have mine put on to align it, not an elegant solution but it works if the wife doesn't find out about her stuff being hijacked:D
also you can see the pre-fit holes drilled to align the trim to the car.
if your car has quarters from a different car then look to the inside metal supports(for the hole locations) and drill through from the back side to the front to get factory locations. I had to do that with my dutchnmans panel since it came from a 4 door donor.

that piece (3 of them that go under your trim.) you do have and it holds the top and the well on and down.

you can see the tack strip starting to be set up to hold down the well (it's not glued yet. the Well get's glued but the top does not.)

and then your's, that's how I know you have them. (they ARE upside down in this picture) the edges go UP and the screws sit in the channel.
