Those are some stout running boards

I went for it yesterday on the first running board top skin.   Those long beads are tough to try and keep straight.   Did I?  Mostly.....at least its gonna be Rino Lined and not gloss back!

If they're a little wonky they'll better match their owner... 🤣

Nice work.  Looking forward to seeing the completed running boards.

Beautiful work as always

Passenger side done....as usual the second one looks better...I figured out a way to jig the beads so it would run straight.  Way less stress on me and a better look.

Are you like me where you always do the passenger side first so you'll see the better result when driving?

I just grabbed the side that was on top....it was driver side.

[ggdad1951]

Well, the perfectionist in me remade the driver side.   You can see the "production" pieces on the table and the prototype off to the side.

Today was trimming of the grill bars.

 

 

[ggdad1951]

And done

 

 

[bkahler]

They look great.  Are they original bars, or something you fabricated?

[ggdad1951]

Old ones off epay from a few years ago...just chromed not stainless.   The ad said stainless, so i jumped on them.  But they are in excellent condition so have them stripped and replated is the plan.
