I too would sure like to find someone who does these. Mine aren't pretty!

Anyone know of a maker of 30 Delx Dely. Bed metal strips.
I could see how those could get pretty mashed up with cargo sliding over them. How wide are they? Perhaps a Boat Bumper strip in brass or aluminum would look equal and stand up longer?

Farell has a good idea there...

This just 1 source, there's possibly others.

Might try Jim Huesby at Speedsters. He's the metal fabricator who hand makes those steel boat tail bodies as well as several parts for restoration shops. A few samples on his site: www.olympic-speedsters.com
He's a fordbarn member.

This was my solution. First pic is an original and one of mine side by side, finished with a catalyst added to the enamel. Second pic is of the end of my first attempt. Next are the set of "dies" I welded up from a sturdy piece of T iron. One is the positive, the other the negative. Lay in a straight cut strip of sheet metal and bang away ! I used a socket set in a vise for the bottom of the recessed holes and a ball bearing welded on a bolt form the top. Drill the hole and bang away. The ends just take lots of "finessing". Lots of time involved, but the solution is acceptable.
