lol, do you even pay attention while you troll ? I have a couple 55 two door sedans ..... I was at last years Tri Five Nationals , were you ? if you want to run your mouth start a dedicated thread and I will happily respond, I prefer not to mess up other peoples threads unlike you
A couple of pictures of just your car would make a difference in promoting the site, instead of beating up on me, like some of the gang, and your specs have nothing do with nomad final assembly.

I was responding to Laszlo's comment on his Sciatic acting up , you don't read much do you ? as far as beating up on you, well you kind of ask for it with your constant negative comments in other peoples threads, this is Laszlo's thread so if you wish to continue your debate with me go to chit chat I started a thread just for you..... so enough of your disrespect towards the OP and trashing his thread

My quarters are new and they came with holes already cut. I've held the trim up to the side of the car and it looked like it was right to me. I have one NOS piece of long BA quarter trim and a couple of pieces of good used trim that hasn't seen the road for decades.
The beltline on the car is the original metal, so I don't think it's going to be off. I did install the upper and lower curved quarter trim and the stainless beside the liftgate. Madmook Mike did my liftgate and I fit it before it was chromed....I haven't fit it since it was done but I'm sure it will fit.I have also seen belt line trim being off as well.
None of my moldings are aftermarket. I have several sets of door and fender trim.I know for a fact one has to check the aftermarket moldings as all not stamped the same.
I did fit those pieces when I was installing the new quarters. They're the original ones from the car....and I don't have any extras.I also understand the value behind your 56 hockey sticks and the difficulty should an owner need to purchase.(PS., should you have a few dozen sets you have no use for....LOL.)

RD does that regularly which you can see if you go back and read any of my threads that he mucks up. I don't mind a couple of off-topic posts (my posting about my sciatica was off-topic too) but to ask a question about his car he should be starting his own thread. I've told him that repeatedly but he's obviously a slow learner.

I've been working on my doors and fenders and have run into an issue. While blocking the passenger fender with guidecoat I found a low spot above the wheel centerline that I initially thought I could block out until I put a straightedge on it. I never saw this before, probably because I didn't use guidecoat initially on the Slicksand and I never did block the first coat of primer. Most of it was under the two stainless pieces, but it did extend above it a little. The low spot was maybe 5" long and 3" wide. I decided to take a hammer to it and I got it a lot straighter, to the point that I figured I could block the Slicksand and get it out.
I've been blocking with 320 grit paper and I did the first sanding with it, cutting most of the K36 away and getting into the Slicksand. When I started seeing hints of DPLF epoxy I stopped and applied a coat of K36. I blocked it again and it looks like pretty much all of the low spot is gone, but I can see slight "ripples" when I look at the surface at a low angle. I'm back into the Slicksand a little and I think it's cutting at a different rate than the K36, so I feel like I need to keep spraying and sanding K36 until it's all I'm blocking.
Does that make sense? What grit sandpaper should I be using at this stage? Seems like the 320 is cutting pretty well but it may be too fine to get everything perfectly flat. However, if I use coarser paper I'll cut through it again and will have to apply more K36. Seems like a never-ending process if I use coarser paper, moving to finer paper on the same layer.
