So after a few weeks of ridiculously low temperatures and 'other jobs', I finally got back in the garage. A quick tidy up, and I could have another go at panel trimming. It did not go well...
It's basically a lack of consistency. To get the same cut all the way along all the panels would need some kind of miracle. So I'm not going to attempt it. I'm going back to the original plan of using edging trim.
I'm aiming for some padded trim, maybe thin neoprene or similar. It needs to go over the rivets, either using cutouts or thick enough to hide them.
Anyway, that's one job ticked off. Well, one job solved, not necessarily completed. Back to the brake pipes now. I have the new brackets drilled, I have them in the right position so I'll get them welded up. Then the solid pipes can start getting routed, and the handbrake cable can be worked on.
(Small update). OK, the tabs are now welded up, one of those jobs that I would put off over and over and just not get anywhere. I'm impressed with the welder that it just fired up and welded smoothly. Next step, brake pipe location.
