Re: Front Bed Panel Sheetmetal Question?
Ok.... Swapped the panels @ lunch. Weight felt about the same. The new panel had more of a 'tinny' sound vs the OE piece but the OE place was beat to heck & several spots which prob helped minimize the tin sound-effect.
After some slight persuading on one side, it went together w/o much fuss. The coating causes concern when starting the original bolts (felt like the threads were different) but they threaded in 100% & the one I pulled back out looked to be good still.
From looking in @ the end of the bed, it looks OE. This one will def work fine for me hidden behind my tool box (trunk).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
