[QUOTE="Chris S, post: 494827, member: 5757"] At this point I started putting skin to it using some 24ga. Metal roofing valley metal we had left off a job. If I were buying from scratch I would go thicker on my metal choice but I already had this so it will suffice.( best I remeber it measured within .030" of the factory toy sheet metal) I started in the wheel well with a piece notched 1/2" at my frame upright with 1/2" bent up to weld to frame. I made it plenty wide on the outside and tack welded it around then went back and trimmed to fit after I had it where I wanted. For the inner fender i cut a template of cardboard and transferred it to my sheet metal adding 1/2" to it to bend a 90 out of to attach it to the back side of my frame I built. Once fitment was confirmed I pulled it and drilled random holes in it where it meets the bed to make way for rosette welds since I don't own a spot welder. Now the extra 1/2" comes into play from my first piece. I simply put relieve cuts in it as needed and hammered and dollied it down to my vertical panel I just made. Satisfied with the looks I started welding everything into place. Here are some pics of the passenger side. [/QUOTE]
