'40 running boards

[russcc]

Reading the 1940 Ford book, "restoration guide" By the EV8 Club, it is not clear as the whether on not there was welt between the running boards and front & rear fenders. It is clear about welt between the boards and frame. This is not a restoration, but from a practical point what is suggested. Thank you Fordbarners.

My 40 coupe doesn't have any welt between the front and rear fenders and running boards.
Pretty sure it's correct. I suggest you don't use the welt at those locations. Looks out of place.
Curve is quite tight for a nice looking fit. Looks better without it.

NO welt between running boards and fenders. There was a piece of anti-squeak material placed between the boards and frame.
