Beltfed Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I am purchasing the bottom trim for the '38 Zephyr coupe from "Northfield Forming". I need to get the owner a couple of pics of the bottom trim ends or spears. My car came with no trim and have never seen another 1938. If you have the car and don't mind taking a couple of close ups of the ends it would be a great help. The guy at Northfield doesn't do computers or iPhones so I'll have to print the pics and mail them to him. The guy also has an order for a '37 and thinks the trim is the same. Can anyone confirm that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBoz Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 The trim for the '37 is slightly shorter than the '38. I'd send you a pic of my trim, but I'm not sure it's exactly correct either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltfed Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Guys, I looked at past post on this issue only to find Larry posted three photos that get the job done. Sorry, but getting stuff made for the Zephyr takes such a long time that you forget. Heck, it will only be three years this summer since I bought and paid for floor pans from the guy in North Carolina. CBoz, I going to measure the side again with help and a cloth tape. I don't know how to do it otherwise. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephyrdave Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I don't know if you are going for authenticity, but you can make your own out of aluminum that almost matches the original look. This trim is used in the boat industry. I have used this on 4 zephyrs I have built. I drilled and tapped the trim, then added 10/32 bolts. The heads were then cut off, so now you have studs. Trim was bent on a wood buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
