Thanks. They are definitely harder to come by. The passenger side is rougher than the driver's. Somehow the rear part of the wheel well panel got folded up and is caught up under a piece of angle iron. Gonna take some work to straighten it out.

I thought it was cool that you found that utility bed and when you showed patching that front panel I was thinking that the c clamp would be trying to pivot and twist the piece you are trying to attach when you put it on. No criticism intended or implied.

No criticism taken at all my friend, hopefully I didn't come off as being offended! I was mainly just trying to make fun of my mediocre welding skills. It definitely takes practice, and I just don't get too many opportunities to do it.

You didn't, just making sure not to step on your toes. And based on my welding experience which is nearly none, I didn't want to come across as telling you what to do. It just looked like it would be difficult to keep working with the c clamps. But I am interested to follow your build.
