I am wondering the same I know in my Project Charger he talks and shows how to fix trim and such. I have not got that far yet, I have 2 sets up wheel trim and hope to make a good set out of them.
BTW thanks for all the electrical posts.. very informative.

It depends how bad it is to start with but a very close friend of mine repairs trim every day to put bread on the table and it is amazing sometimes to see what he starts with and how good it looks when finished.  There have been a few pieces go through his shop though that just could not be fixed.

I straighten trim for a living. Just fixed a real nasty stainless wheel opening trim piece from a '62 Sport fury. 2 major kinks, lots of bends and dents. I probably have 10 hours into the piece. It is possible, it is difficult.

I didn't checked, but:
1- I won't buy from Year One at least from the distance... personally could it be but not easy to me
2- mostly sure will be complete sets not just one piece.

Aren't they anodized aluminium ?( whatever means that ). I have heard is not "easy" like stainless... I wouldn't care take 10 hours because I can make it in short times, and in fact mostly of the time still on place.

By the moments Is back on the wheel opening position with some slight hammering. will try to take pics.
