    Kyle it is good to see you are doing real body work instead of throwing away and replacing parts. or worse yet using tons of body filler. I started in bodywork in 1958 we saved everything. Keep up the good work and teaching others.

    Good job Kyle! I find that fixing stainless is one of the most satisfying parts of a restoration. It amazes me that as you float out the imperfections with a file it doesn't cut thru the trim. Making something look new after decades of abuse is fun! Now if I could do something about my decades of abuse!😆

    Something really satisfying about seeing a bit of stainless trim brought back to life. It's a self contained component that is 'finished' even while a whole project is still in progress.
    Seeing Scott on CWM do his Fury trim inspired me to have a go at tapping the dents out of a chrome motorbike hub cover that I damaged years ago (I pulled away with a chain and padlock through the front wheel and have hoarded the dented part). It kind-of works on chrome sheet to an extent, providing there's no flaking of the chrome. Mine is no way perfect, but now at least I have something usable and not a total mis-shaped mess and feel justified in having kept it for so long.
