I rounded my door corners on my 59 Apache and need to find tech articles on how to modify and recut door trim to fit the new arch. The top rear section needs to be cut to fit and I need some guidance before I mess it up.
Thanks

I dont think Classic Trucks ever did an article like that. I maybe wrong but I havent seen one in the three years I've been here.

I often find the 'hot rodding' 'street rodding' type magazines are more helpful for the D.I.Y. types. 'Specially body mod how tos and unusual mechanical applications. They tend to cater more to 'cobblers', LOL... Truck mags are very 'kit' oriented. Give us a photo, sounds hard to do..

If that's the case what publications do you recommend?

Well, like I'd said, without naming names,[protocall, baby] most of the street rodder mags. Your editors would do well to cover more 'backyard' and 'oldschool' modifications, and not just companies and their products, or eye candy with little info on how it was built. Don't get me wrong, that's great too, but I personally learn more 'how toos' in other mags.[leading, pancaking, chopping, channeling,pinstripping, etc, are all things done to trucks as well] I realize where the bread and butter is at.. But, many of us reguard our modified 50s' trucks as 'hiboys for a new mellineia', and the rat rodding thing is growing momentum ,also, and they don't draw hard lines between 30s',40s' 50s' 60s' rods, both cars and trucks. It's just an opinion. Look, I've noticed more tool ads in classic truck mags, which must mean what we do not buy, we make, eh? That is to say it's not just about buying a manufactured product for installation. 'How to install' is one thing. How to make, is another, and far more facinating.

Thanks for the input ebb. I know Custom Classic Trucks has been covering chopping and pancaking is some of there articles. I understand how the "how to make" articles would be beneficial but how to installs keep the manufacture in business which keeps our light on too.
