Since the 55/80s at the shop, I started on a few custom parts.
There V1.0 panels are laser cut for the rear section. They'll be drilled out to fit the bolt holes, and measured for gap in the guard.
I'm hoping to mount my Aircompressor, water...
Take the whole fender off and deconstruct.
There is a bit of bow to it
Keep the door gap in mind

Good fabbing practice. What ever you make it can be done better, but what you make you will be...

Oh My God!!!!!
CRAZY TIME!!!!
Are you going totally stock or are you going to fix that which was poorly designed?
I have only gotten to where it’s just the floor and firewall!! Page 10
OMG!!!
Kelly - I restored my Pig years ago, but I didn't run into the pure evil you are finding in the hardest-to-fabricate rusted parts. Incredible work on those doglegs - there's no way that didn't take many hours and much mental stress.
