Here are the pics of the first piece of the rear tack strip.
Does this fit ok? The end point just does not seem right.

I will post the other parts as I get to them.

One more question.
How is the best way to attach the tack strip to the sheet metal?

Your tack strip is looking great. The terminal end seems fine, you want a bit of taper as the upholstery material will be folded over it, I like to fold under about 3/4" to 1" of material for a rolled-under look, hidem welt will cover.

The wood was mounted originally with stove bolts, drill and countersink holes on the outside, through the wood tack strip, place the stove bolt ( flat head taper type) single slot, and then lock washers and hex nuts on the metal inside. You should find holes around the perimeter of the body edge for them.
