Wide Trim /Bottom


The wide trim board on the bottom will blend in with the running boards when finished.The running boards will be stained to match the sides and trim . Notched for the door and routered on the edge for a better look .They a re a little thicker than the side mouldingfor a different look and came out better than I thought.The wide bottom trim idea came from a teardrop I came across on the internet , when finished looked quite good .
