Re: Snip snip
Second pic shows the new outer bed wall skin in place and the studs that replace the fender bolts.
Third is a quick shot of the fender back on. Note the obvious wheel offset difference on the rear wheels.
#4 is just a side view of the same thing. The black rust inhibitor I sprayed on makes the fender line a little deceptive since it's sprayed on the first 2" or so of the fender too (to knock out some 37 year old surface rust). From this view, the bed side looks pretty much stock.
However, on the last pic, you can see how much wider it is now. Note the gap between the fender and the rolled pan. Those used to abut each other. Ultimately, I'll extend the rolled pan with a nice rounded shape to fill that gap and soften what is currently a hard edge.
I'm going to try to get the other side skinned tomorrow and get that fender back on as well. I've got to get this thing back together for an upcoming move.
