We’re
going to make some lower door sills. The aftermarket pieces
are just not very nice. Here we want to make something that
blends in, not stands out. We’ll start out with a flat piece
of 18 gauge.

 |
We
start out by rolling the top section where the carpet will go
underneath. This point is critical, as it needs to be high enough for
carpet to tuck underneath, but no higher.
|
 |
We
have to put a bit of a curve in the piece, as the body curves in
this area.
|
 |
Test
fit. Now we’ll put in a raised section for a nicer look.

the bead roller to add the raised section

The
raised area about done.

|
For
mounting, we’ll add some dimpled screw holes.

Finished.
Just a stock looking, basic piece.

|
Sanding/buffing phase. I like to paint the top edge the carpet color, so it blends into the interior better. |
