Haas: When you go to install the new bed panels to the wheel wells, will it just be spot-welded or do you have another option in mind?

full back edge welds with a filet bevel weld at the seam.

So, in the event that you ever have to remove the wheel well or bed panels for any reason, they will just lift out as one unit? Or will the bed panels be welded to the bed-sides also? Just wondering.

It will all be welded in and all edges metal finished. This is a SEMA level build, not designed to come apart. Think of how a El Camino is built.

Update on our build, I sent the truck to a body shop last June and it has been in jail since. I just don’t get why body/paint guys feel the need to lie and bull**** about why they haven’t worked on let alone finished your truck… we will post an update when there is noteworthy news.
