Hello all. The chromium plated embellishing strips which run along the running boards and continue onto the bottom of the front mudguards [fender], are missing from my car.
As I must make these items I need to ask two questions.
1.Is the strip, one continuous length or is it two separate pieces, one for the mudguard and one for the running board?
2.What are the dimensions of these strips? I will need the overall length if it is a continuous strip, or if two separate strips the length of that fitted to the mudguard. Also the width and height?
Hoping that one of the members can supply this information. Thanking you in anticipation. dnielsen.

On my 38 120 coupe the strip is one piece about 1 1/2 " wide and goes from the rear edge of the running board to about 1 1/2 " from the front of the fender wheel cut out.

aren't these roll formed stainless rather than chrome plated?

Yes, stainless steel and not chromium plated. Many of the running board moldings are available from Northfield Forming and that's the first place I'd check to see if they have it.

Also available from Max Merritt.

They are SS.
