What started out to be a simple refresh on my '49 has now lead to many upgrades. So far I've followed your lead on rounding the bed stakes. The rear fenders are now at a friend's shop having some dents & cracks reworked. Also, we are installing tubs in the bed, but not your usual style. We are taking a pair of rear fenders and cutting them so they fit between the bed sides & the frame rails.
So right now, I'd like to know where you positioned your gas filler in the left fender. Some dimensions would really help. Thanks much.
