Unfortunately I can not tell how mine was originally done, as I got it all in pieces...
I took some pictures of the Passenger Side bed that has been semi completed, ready to be painted. I need to get the Dirvers side done (Next step in my Resto) I would liketo try and match what they did, or at least look the same. I have loaded up some pictures of what they did. The nails are along the rolled over sides, and on the underside where the metal is rolled under. on the Flat side, facing out it is smoot and clean, no evidence of ANY nails unless they were covered and filled. Looking closely looks like they used some sort of "GOOP" I will call it. Where it ozzed out from compression, this material has a clay like consistency when you crumple it in your hand, it does NOT come off easily, it is hard and brittle. Also have some pictures from the resto shop (provided to the prev owner on DVD)where they had clamped the pieces together but nothing to show WHAT they used ?!?
Ughh...
