Full Version: Gt style door panel bezels

Attached are 3 pics to the bezels I made for my Gt style door panels.

Lasering the part and hammering it's shape is the easy part.The hard part comes when I realized that there is not enough mat'l to fold around the back of the door panel to secure the bezel once installed.

I had to add a couple of strips of mat'l to make the part fit thru the panel,then bend around the back of the panel.

I tried a spot-welder,but no room to work that,I tried tig'n them,to much heat as there was burn-thru.Lastly,I spot mig'd them on,which is where the part begins to look kinda iffy from an appearance stand point.

Last pic shows the part w/a heavy coat of semi-gloss paint,and it does hide mostly all of the sins.Enough to use the bezel and not be ashamed of it's look.

I gonna keep trying to solve the issue of the extra tabbing material.

When I do,then I'll be comfortable with these as a good product.

BTW,I made these up last night.

Nice work, Ron.

Do you use a form to hammer the bezel? The three dimensional shape looks good.

Yes,I did.


After the tabs are formed,I laid the part in a small die I made,and hammered the edges over to give it the 3-d look.

Nice.

You have a tiny scratch in your paint. You need to repaint your car.
