Default Scale Bed Rails

i want to get as close to a scale rig i can as i enjoy yhe looks of them. so i was looking around and decided to make some bedrails for my power wagon. its a cheap and easy mod and im sure some of you have the parts needed.

all i did was use the step bar off of a 1/18 nylint and trimmed it up,drilled two holes and mounted it to the side of my body. i may paint the flat area black. im not sure yet. lmk what ya think..

side shot...

Good idea, but i think it might look a little better if you cut off the flat part and put the screws in from the backside.

Maybe you could paint the flat part black to kinda cover it up.
