i was thinking that storage in the front of a wheel well would be great in either of these places for a door to the storage... id love it if some metal welding people on here could do it and put the idea to use. and post pics of it course!

I wonder if a better area would be the outside section of the rear wheel well. You could have an area roughly the length of the wheel and about 8-10 inches. Similar to the utilities company trucks with a outside turn handle latches.
 
I made one for the driver's side rear wheelwell on Ruftoys MANY years ago, disassembled it [for reasons I can't remember] about 7 years ago, and never got around to putting it back.

The area behind the tire was large enough to carry several quarts of oil and other liquids I didn't necessarily feel like carrying in the in-cab toolboxes.

you wouldn't mind if it striped the paint to shiney metal its when it strips it to rust that hurts
