On my friends squareback, he ordered the uncut rools of fender beading for like $6.00 a roll, making a total cost of $12.00. He used his old dried, cracked beading as a pattern and it turned out pretty well. I have yet to try this on my fastback, but he had a little trouble with the big angle in the front fenders. But he's pretty happy with the way it turned out. It just takes a bit of patience, along with a knife, scissors, and a holepuncher to get a good fit. Ha anyone else been sucessful with this solution.
