I also managed to "rough in" my mod for the fender. I plan on putting in the 72 side marker lights, like a lot of guys do, but I wanted to kind-of "french" mine in. I had the local metal fab shop computer plasma cut some blanks out that are a little smaller than what the L.E.D. side marker lights would fit though. I also had them made out of thicker (than 18 gauge) steel. I hand finished them to fit the light and with the thicker steel,, it sets the depth right where I wanted them and it gave me a good place to weld on some attaching studs.

Showing the difference between the blank and 18ga steel. I think it's 1/8th inch steel,,but I had these cut over 2 years ago,,,memory is kind of fuzzy.
