Reply to "Goose 8MA642 Refurb and Repaint"

(Nate, yeah, you have those right for 1074 and 1046. I hadn't seen the 982 and 1144 pics) Here are some more detailed pics from 1046, showing especially rivets to pin down the vinyl--underneath that fracture on 982 is a rivet, I'll bet. But surprising to me, also that its not a single piece across B (see where the piece terminates where it runs into the spin mounting in the center).

I remember M!ke's advice, use a heat gun on the vinyl bends.

I looked for a long time to see if there was any of this trim wider than ~10mm available--but 10mm is right (forgot I deliberately took a picture of this on 8ma1074 when I had the chance). I've only seen some suggestions that Alfa Giulia may have used such a trim, somwhere...but finally just bought generic Chinese stuff on ebay. I think the original Chrome look would fit better on the gold car, but gold colored vinyl edging is available and looks pretty darn close to aged...even, I'm pretty sure you will not find a 50 year old car with "chrome"....!
