Chester Brzostowski Posted July 11, 2014 Report Posted July 11, 2014 Hi all, I have a quick question concerning the last two moldings to go back on my 48 P15. I am installing the rocker trim and since it was never on the car when I got it I want to make sure before I snap it down that the orientation is correct. Below are two pictures: In the first picture is it correct for the molding to go just after the stainless fender trim or does it go around it. see below: In this second picture does this look correct and is the orientation correct. I think so but last time I installed all the trim upside down and had to remove it all and redo it. Big pain. Thanks for the help, these two pieces should complete my 10 year project. Thanks Chet, Northern Virginia Quote
Chester Brzostowski Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 I am kind of surprised that I haven't received a response on this. The end of the trim by the rear wheel is slightly raised up and although in pictures I have looked at it appears that the molding starts at the wheel well seam. If this is the case why the slight lift at the end of the rocker trim ? Is it there to go on top of the wheel well stainless ? This is what I suspect anyway. My car is a 4 door sedan special deluxe.

Don Coatney Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Chet; Good to hear from you. I would like to assist but I do not know the answer to your question. I hope some of the trim savvy folks can find an answer for you. Quote
mayflower48 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I just looked at my car and it is the same as you show in the photo. Quote
soth122003 Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 I don't know if this will help or not. This is the trim on my 48 P-15 Special Deluxe 2 door. Quote
Mark Haymond Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 My 1947 P-15 Club Coupe rocker trim is the same as your photos. Quote
Chester Brzostowski Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Posted July 13, 2014 OK, thanks this is what I expected just trying to get things right. This is what I could tell from the other pictures I looked at. Many Thanks, Chet... Hay Don, finally quit the day job. Last day July 4th Independence Day ... Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Hay Don, finally quit the day job. Last day July 4th Independence Day ... Congratulations. Are you moving or have you already moved to Delaware? Lisa and I now live in Indiana. Like it now but I have not yet spent a winter up here. Quote
greg g Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 Congrats Chet. Happy retirement. the trim looks ok the smaller radius goes up top. there should be s slight over hang of the trim down past the sheet metal of the rocker. The clips ar shaped like An "H" with the longer legs to the bottom. 1 Quote
Mark D Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) If the trim fits, wear it! Looking hood Chet. Hope all is well. Edited July 14, 2014 by Mark D Quote
Chester Brzostowski Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks all, what I have done to the old car this last week would have taken three months of weekends. And still had time to drive up to NYC for my brother-in-law's 60th birthday party. Heading back to Delaware today. Don we are still in VA since Melissa wants to continue working until March of next year. OK by me gives me more time for my cars and gives me plenty of time to fix up around the house before I put it on the market and head to Delaware full time. Chet... Quote
greg g Posted July 14, 2014 Report Posted July 14, 2014 We are making plans for next year's NE road trip, hope to see you there, likely in the Hudson Valley, probably 2nd week of July again. Joe and Rodney are you listening???? 1 Quote

Chester Brzostowski Posted July 15, 2014 Author Report Posted July 15, 2014 Not yet whadya wanna do? I'm not sure. I would like to see Bob again but I don't know if I want to drive all the way up to Roscoe. We'll have to give that some thought. I definitely don't want to come up the turnpike, that road is crazy with the construction and traffic. NYC was nuts even with the suburban this past weekend. The road construction and traffic was everywhere you turned. Anyway I should have the time so I don't have to worry about doing it in one weekend. Chet... Quote
