Thanks guys! That side took @ 6 hours. A talented metal shaping friend estimates a foot an hour for joining, smoothing / planishing into shape. I am way slower, though he uses a TIG and that helps.

More of a challenge will be intersecting on the body side. Plan to play with that Saturday. Join direct with a flush edge, tip this edge and attach to body side...? Going for join direct to the flush edge. Wish me luck.
