Three more pieces complete. I have the two driver side inner fender pieces and one passenger inner fender piece to complete. Then the detail work. All of the straight piece have 3/4" risers that need to be welded in to compensate for the wood and will be drilled for attachment to the x-members. I did order some strips (whatever they're called) and hardware for the SWB stepside. Haven't decided on what wood to use. May go with hickory??? Thanks Mike

Pictures:
1. Three templates laid out after cutting (jigsaw)
2. Bead Roller (Eastwood). Had to reinforce to eliminate deflection or whatever you call it.
3. Working the back driver side piece
4. Same
5. Need to trim the piece by the bead then DA sand
