So back at it. Spent the week focused on the running board. Got the passenger side on.

Used a lot of clamps. 50 to be exact. If you are looking for clamps at Harbor freight I may have put them on back order!!

I went with an adhesive E6000.


Clamped the top side and cured for 72 hours. I ran furring strips longways in the valley and the across and clamped the cross rails.




I then clamped the edges on the top side before wrapping the sides and the. Clamping the sides. I cut the furring strips on 45s for the inside curve. Let that cure for 72 hours.



Unclamped and cut the holes for connection to the body.




Installed and put on trim.






Couple areas I need to work still
1. Trim piece between running board and rear fender. Need to figure out the back cut need to make the bend and finish nicely against the trim

2. Front fender looks to have a slight curve towards the front so the trim does not fit snug. Not sure if the fender is bent? Or if I need to bend the trim to fit the contour?

Happy overall. Some blemishes here and there but we will call them me leaving my mark!
