Thank you for this video! I am putting trim on a 1929 Oakland, WHAT A CHORE! Having to shape all the aluminum trim, it has the same top as a Blind back sedan! And I LOVE your using the wonderful period music "When Love Comes In The Moonlight" is a fantastic tune!
I hope this will help take some of the nerves away. This is the video I wish I had before I started. I think annealing the aluminum is key and if I had to do it over again I would start nailing from the center and let the excess hang over on both sides. I think if you can watch my next video of the back when I post it then use that same technique for the front. Nailing and bending along the way I think
Excellent job. These cars are simple yet complex and a labor of love. I have a 30 coupe and the front trim is nailed straight through the trim. Not sure if that's correct but it is how mine is done. I wouldn't call it waterproof but I have no plans to find out.
seam sealer works much better than the butyl rubber. I do the top before painting the car, and put paper down before the trim. Paint the car, and take the paper off and I suspect that's what the factory did too. BTW, get rid of that phillips screw on the rain gutter, a slotted oval screw is what was used.
I have heard that Seam sealer works good as well. Sounds good to me. As for the screws, I am sure they were actually no screws used as they would have been snapped into the nail channel. Hardware store had no wood screws that were slotted. So these are temporary until I can get my hands of some slotted ones. Thanks for the comment. I agree!

It's not that hard. Let the roofing pre-stretch on the roof for a few days. Leave in the sun if you can. Take your time and think. You'll get it.
Muy bueno! Saludos desde Argentina

I wouldn’t either! lol! Thanks brother! Good to hear from you!
Thank you for posting this! Are you planning to show the sides as well (I think they’re the rain gutters?)
That was the previous video! Here is the link
