Well,
I decided to make a handful of GT replica grills, and it's time to assemble the grills to the lid and I'm kind of torn whether to add the beading between the two grills. I kind of like them without, but...what do you think? The beading can always be removed or added later...just want them closer to plug-n-play.
Ready to assemble

I like them with the beading. It helps to hide the joint between the two grills. Do you have a source for the beading?

I'm suprised...but it's pretty clear from the responses that "beading" creates a more finished look for most. The masses have spoken.

Joe, I'm not using OEM beading (welting) but looks pretty darn close....before 35 years of shrinkage.

Your only 35! I call bull shit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) keep your shrinkage comments to yourself. WAY to much information (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
