Re: Anyone remember "Project Copperhead" from Trucks.....

I also used Infanti's filler panels. For about $60 you can buy the panels to fill basically every hole in the truck... They are well worth the money IMO especially if you plan on paying a bodyman to make them. If you are making them yourself, you might pay an extra 40 or 50 bucks but you will save yourself a bunch of time and frustration.

I made all my panels and they aren't difficult. For me it was a question of I could take an hour, make my plates out of scrap and keep working on my truck, or I could pay someone and then sit and wait for them to come in the mail.

Everyone is going to have their own view on this. For myself, it was a lot easier to order the panels. I knew I was going to be shaving most of holes on the truck so I ordered the fillers long in advance... In fact, they were sitting around waiting for me to be ready for them. On top of that, I didn't do much of the sheet metal work because I don't have the tools (or the skill for that matter) to do it. For me, it was either pay for the panels or pay my bodyman to make them... I think I got off cheaply.
