Finally, I took each half of each side and set them on the garage floor. If I had to do it over again, I would probably weld them in the bed because my garage floor is flat but my bed is not!!! lol

The trick is to get both ends lined up where the wells have a factory bend to them and tack them in place. Then I tacked the center in. After that, I just worked my way around the fender making spot welds about 1 inch apart. I'm sure if you start and one end and work to the other, the fender lines will not line up. I set the newly mated halve in the bed and was jacked at how my hillbilly tub job came out! Go Bo and Luke Duke!!!!

When I took the pics above, I used one half for both pics. This is why you now see yellow paint that you didn't see in the last posting.
