1934 Ford Five-Window Coupe - Using Garnish Outside Of Salads

The second cut trimmed the excess from the front side. The two sections were clamped together with a set of duckbill Vise-Grips.

With the garnish molding secured in a bench vise, Cornell used a 4-inch cutoff wheel to separate the next section.

After three cuts, the rear garnish molding was beginning to take shape to its new form.

After being TIG-tacked on the bench, the garnish molding was secured in a bench vise for Cornell to complete the final welding.

Secured in a bench vise, the next cut was to trim the excess from the rear side. This was accomplished using a hacksaw.

Here you can see the final welding to the garnish molding prior to being ground smooth with hand files.

To compensate for the tight curve needed to complete the garnish molding, a number of relief cuts were made using both a cutoff wheel and hacksaw. The piece was then carefully bent into position.

Looking factory fresh, the newly updated garnish moldings not only fit great, they will also add loads of personality to the car once the interior is completed.
