Can anybody show me a picture or describe on how the welting ends on the front fenders where the meet the cowl and running boards of the car?
another words the back of the front fenders.

Thanks in advance

Also looking for a set of front set adjustment rods.
 
I don't know how the factory did it, but I strip the cover back on the welting, cut the tube to the place I want the welt to end, them fold the cover to the back side of the welt. A bit of trim cement will hold it until they are sandwiched between the parts. An old trick I learned is to fasten pull strips of fabric to the web of the welt at intervals and use them to snug the welt down into place evenly, then cut the strips so they can't be seen.
 
So I am still not sure of how to terminate the back end of the welting where the fender goes under the car (see my posted picture). Do I transition the welting to keep the fender from rubbing the bottom of the cowl?

I am attempting to attach photos from an original 1935 ford unrestored but have been unable to attach photos due to a security "token" missing ?

Not sure on sedans, however, on pickups it follows the inner edge of the fender, the full length of the fender. It fastens to the fender that goes under the cowl, with staples. It does not follow the cowl line. Looks strange, but that's the way it goes.

Solved
Someone emailed me pictures
I figured it just got tucked behind, but thought it would be cool to make a transition between the cowl and fender
