Those rear fenders are tough to fix on the top/rear at the flange! Not at all a simple curve. Looking good!

Lookin Awesome.
What size sheet metal did you use on the bed sides? Also, what is the size and wall thickness?

I bought a 4 x 8 sheet of 16 gauge sheet metal and cut it down the middle. I'm using the stock bed dimensions.

Thank you. I'm really having fun with it instead of being stressed about finishing it. That makes a lot of difference.
